Looking forward to speaking to >350 healthcare support workers this am from across Scotland in a @NES_hcsw session 'Getting Bereavement Right Every Time'. We'll explore ways we can support people who are grieving when we meet them in the course of our work sad.scot.nhs.uk

I'm genuinely excited about the range of speakers and topics we're covering at this conference. We've also tried to keep the ticket price down! Find out more and book a place here: goodlifedeathgrief.org.uk/demystifying-d…

Dr Wendy Simpson, Health Psychologist/Staff Well-being Facilitator @nhsfife will explore the power of self compassion to help us through the grieving process during the #NESBereavement2024 closing plenary on Tues 3rd Dec. Watch the film for more info: bit.ly/4eO48wp

Seeking Excellence in End of Life Care UK (SEECare UK): a UK multi-centred service evaluation spcare.bmj.com/content/14/e1/… always good data 📊 to show what we do when we have the resources and workforce #palliativecare @SimonTavabie @HouseofCommons

On Monday 13th September, the Ayrshire Hospice attended the South Ayrshire Participatory Budgeting event to ask the public to choose our Children and Young Person’s Service to receive funding. With the votes counted we are pleased to learn we were successful in securing the full £3,000 we applied for! Thank you to everyone who lives, works, and volunteers in Ayr South and the Surrounding Villages for casting your votes in favour of the Hospice. The money your support helped us secure will go towards worry dolls for children to hold close, and bereavement books to help them understand and process their feelings around illness, death, and dying. The Children and Young Person’s Service plays an important role in supporting children through what can be a difficult time. Thank you to the community for helping us continue to support young people across Ayrshire and Arran!

That’s a wrap! 🎬 Yesterday the last paper from my PhD at @MCPCRD thesis got published. This paper is about how the hospice multidisciplinary team starts conversations about dying patients’ prognoses. You can read it here: lnkd.in/drJgu_Fy
