Lord Stevens was Chief Executive of @NHSEngland for 7 years: he knows what he’s talking about. So this brutal analysis of the idea of an NHS death service is worth your time He says the idea is conceptually misjudged, organisationally unnecessary and INHERENTLY RISKY 3 pts
Nikki da Costa@nmdacosta

Lord Stephens: danger on the NHS, undermines trust in clinicians, increases risk of self-coercion/altruism - to alleviate burden on NHS as saw during Covid. Says Government has been 'less than forthcoming' on whether people will have genuine choice of palliative care.

250 Welsh healthcare professionals, including a former Chief Medical Officer, condemn the AS bill: “Those who are distressed as they face a terminal illness deserve better… Patients will be eligible to access lethal drugs if they feel a burden or because of a lack of services.”

This MPs letter illustrates misunderstanding & fear of ordinary dying. All MPs should be required to attend detailed briefing on ordinary dying, pall care, the real but rare difficult deaths, & assessment of capacity, provided by non-campaigning experts. bbc.in/37m33eN

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, one thing I’d hoped we’d all agree on is that the topic is ethically fraught & complex. Not so Matthew Parris. For him, it’s simple. Old & frail people *should* be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n

Proportion of health research budget spent on palliative and end of life care: 0.23% Proportion of humans who die: 100%
Dr Sabine Best@sabinebest

New HRCS analysis of grant funding data out today: of £2.79billion health-related research in 2022, only 0.23% /£6.5m dealt with #palliative / end of life care, up from 0.21%, still too little. @MarieCurieEOLC still 2nd largest funder after @NIHRresearch hrcsonline.net/reports/analys…

@STVNews Men need to get HPV vaccinated too. Because they are responsible for 99% of cervical cancers in heterosexual women. HPV vaccination is important for both genders.

The spread of #ReSPECT in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for the deteriorating patient across ALL care settings is too important not to include. Ensures patients are at the heart of decision-making as they should be @RealisticMed @LabinjohC @DrGregorSmith @McneillGregor @JASpiller @ResusCouncilUK
