It's been a magnificent team effort, when many are weary, over-stretched & even disheartened.
I hope our #EoL #SpecialEdition of @FutureHealthJ encourages everyone to keep going, to ask the question, to have the conversation, to make a difference.

SESSION UPDATE - Practical Support after a Bereavement

@APMPostTweets @APM_Hub #bereavement
APM retweeted
"The hard truth about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have."
Incredibly, only 30% of hospice care is NHS funded - a national travesty.
Please read my piece in today’s @guardian.
