Palliative medicine and nursing specialists can be expert guides, teachers, leaders, and developers of best practice, but improving end-of-life care is clearly everyone’s business, writes @mancunianmedic bmj.com/content/377/bm…

Are you a clinician working with breathless patients? We would like to hear about your experience of the hand-held fan (whether or not you use the fan in your clinical practice). Follow this link for our 5-minute survey (11 Qs) @wolfsonpallcare hyms.ac.uk/FFITS

@SimonNoahEtkind @PCU_Cambridge Yay! Hope we can catch up when you get here!

Very excited to be starting a clinical lecturer post in the palliative and end of life care group at @PCU_Cambridge in August! Will be researching #uncertainty in the context of older people living with #frailty and #multimorbidity.

Good to see discussion about death and dying in the news: What we can all learn from this deathbed photo. (Spoiler alert: it’s actually a heartwarming story!) bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…

We're celebrating this morning after winning 'The Michael Howard Award' at the @hospiceuk awards last night in recognition of our innovative partnership with @CUH_NHS @addenbrookes Palliative Care Team & our #NurseLedBed scheme! To read more>>bit.ly/2XAd6aB 🍾

Emerging from #newborn haze and catching up on tweets to see if I’ve got any functioning #neurones left up there... it’s 50:50 at the mo #newmum #11weeksold

Volunteers are unequally distributed across end of life care settings. @cewalshe notes that her local hospice, 10 beds, has 700 volunteers. Her local care home, 60 beds, has 3 volunteers.

I’ll be giving a public talk in Cambridge on 12th Nov about death, dying, symptoms, society, policy and palliation. Come!

Made our @BBCBreakfast debut this morning talking about the importance of #CMV screening to prevent deafness in #newborn babies. Great work being done @Hearglueear. Thanks also for the lovely congrats @stephbreakfast & best wishes for your pregnancy!

This simple test could prevent life-long deafness in babies born with the CMV virus👇 #newborns #newparents #CMV

This is a wonderful initiative: a 'make a wish' ambulance to fulfill end of life requests: see a mountain or a concert, go to the beach or a sports game, visit your family or the chip shop. ambulancewishfoundation.org.uk They are willing to consider all requests. Pass it on! 1/

This is great news. Not just the money (which let’s face it is 2.5% of what the Hospice sector has to raise annually), but the message. Great that the PM acknowledges funding challenges in the hospice sector, and to have his support. Well done @TraceyBleakley @Peston @hospiceuk

Such a good article by @charlottechurch, with strong message about palliative care. By sharing her experience, she will make a difference to others. Also, she is totally right about ‘syringe drivers’. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Excellent letter by @SimonNoahEtkind in BMJ on assisted dying "The inequity of care provision at the end of life is neglected in the debate about assisted dying." bmj.com/content/365/bm…

Imagine a world where the #NHS only part funded cardiology, where 3/4 angioplasties relied on second hand clothing and fun runs. This is the reality for #EndOfLifeCare

Catching up with and enjoying the tweets from #EAPC2019 from the comfort of my sofa as am currently an enormous #pregnantlady so #thanks to those who took the time to tweet the key messages! There is some super #palliativecare #hpm #research going on.

The power of research! David Currow sharing the results of the largest #rct on the use of oxycodone for chronic breathlessness @EAPCvzw @Pall_Care_Aus #EAPC2019

Thanks again EOL Professionals - End of Life and Palliative Care!
