Any clinician with access to WCP. You will need to ask your IT to add the Upload functionality for Future Care Plans in Welsh Clinical Portal. Our admins also have access and can upload the pdfs of scanned forms such as ADRTs, DNACPRs, LPAs etc

I am relieved the Bill has fallen. I was, and am, neutral on the principle of assisted death. But this was a bad bill, at an awful time. I will gladly work with colleagues to think about what a better bill might look like, that takes on board the serious concerns of expert groups. In the meantime, let’s focus on improving palliative care, fixing gaps and reducing inequalities.

How about introducing a Private Members Bill to provide equitable access to palliative care across England and Wales? Rather than starting with a Private Members Bill for Assisted Dying? The sequence would be hugely important, given that so many cannot access basic care.

Time is Finite. This article stopped me in my tracks today. Clinicians, please read. You are replaceable in work. But you are irreplaceable for those who love you.

Are we getting a skewed understanding of dying from the stories that gain media attention? I was delighted and honoured to be invited to close the day at End Well 2025 @endwellproject Here's my take. bit.ly/EndWellStorytellers

Remember: fear sits in the dark hole of 'not knowing.' The more we understand, the less there is to fear. To watch, type bit.ly/DyingTED into your browser. Let me know whether it brings you any new insights.

This image by my friend @mlalanda is reproduced all over the Internet without attribution, sometimes even claimed by other artists. Why? Because it is brilliant. #GraphicMedicine at its finest: so many deep ideas captured in two panels. Let's share it widely, with her name on it.
