@cewalshe @BridgetJohnst @alisonleary1 @theRCN @drjulianabel has today submitted information to the commission on public health palliative and end of life care.

I welcome the Palliative Care Commission, with some fabulous commissioners. But where is the nursing voice? Of 21 commissioners why 10 medical doctors and only 1 person with a nursing background? #hpm #hapc #nursing @alisonleary1 @theRCN palliativecarecommission.uk/commissioners

@PaulJBtW @hospiceuk @brumshospice Great I see you too!

Great to catch up this morning with @CompassionComUK & Compassionate neighbours team @hospiceuk. Birmingham is already part of this amazing community aiming to improve social outcomes through engagement & education, @brumshospice looking forward to getting involved #hospiceceo
