Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care.
Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

Today, the HCPC’s revised standards of conduct, performance and ethics come into effect.
These standards are essential. They set out how we expect HCPC registrants to behave, what the public can expect from them and they underpin our work as a regulator.
