Presenting @iMig_Meso with colleagues. Unravelling #pain in #mesothelioma - pain less common but no less important. Pain present on final assessment prior to death; none on strong opioids. Need to prospectively identify 'high risk' patients & ensure timely interventions.

Great to hear! Well done @eleanorachis
Blown away by the incredible feedback and engagement on our #pcc2025 poster (95) today—apparently it’s one of the most visually appealing in the lineup! Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, shared practice insights, and sparked exciting conversations about future directions.

No one likes a frantic ‘Who do I call?’ moment. Check out our #abstract—‘I Wouldn’t Know Who to Contact’—in the attached sneak peek. If you’re at the #PCC2025 in #ICCBelfast, swing by #poster 95 to hear how we’re tackling this communication gap. #palliativecarecongress2025 #HNC – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Ever tried juggling velcro dots, a poster tube, and a strong cup of coffee all at once? My behind-the-scenes video from #PCC2025 captures the comedic mishaps in full. Spoiler alert: the poster survived! Now let's set it up! #PalliativeCareCongress #ICCBelfast #PCC2025 #posters
