I completely agree HOWEVER the vast majority of excellent palliative care is provided not in hospices/ specialist services but in homes by amazing DISTRICT NURSES, the unsung sheros here. yet their numbers have been decimated and working arrangements trashed. RESTORE THE DNs.

We owe it as a moral duty to all those people who fear they may experience avoidable pain in the last days of their lives. 4/4

Thanks to @pauline4glasgow for raising our concerns about the proposed walk-in clinics and the impact they may have on health inequalities. Evidence from England showed they do not reduce demand, are used by relatively healthy individuals and may worsen health inequity.

Fragmenting care costs more+ lower quality care. meantime qualified GPs can't get jobs in practices (complex but increased costs of running practices, underfunding /instability). far better to invest in stable core NHS GP (and read evidence on walk in services!)
Conor Matchett@conor_matchett
