Happy International Womens Day!

More than 65% of the 670k people who die in the UK each year are aged over 75. Why is the Assisted Dying Bill committee overlooking the interests of the majority?

Older people make up the majority of those dying each year. The BGS is concerned about the lack of representation from older people’s healthcare specialists and older people themselves on the witness list for the Assisted Dying Bill - @JKDhesi buff.ly/4hyR0wW

Paramedics and those in the emergency services are adaptable, multiskilled and crucially, know how to work under pressure. Proudly becoming Patron of @ParamedicsUK. It’s been a privilege to spend time today with first responders whose work saves lives day in, day out.

We are honoured to announce that His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales will today become Patron of the College of Paramedics. Read more here: bit.ly/3DU9JEK #ParamedicsUK

Recently I was asked to write a chapter about mental health for a really important handbook aimed at paramedics and ACPs. And it arrived just in time for Christmas! Great work @ACPFrailtyCarol and @DuncanSCAS for bringing this together. @DrBenUnderwood1 @ParamedicsUK
