Here is the evidence base for anticipatory prescribing in one place. It feels apt to share right now to show what can be done to help with effective end-of-life symptom control too! new.express.adobe.com/webpag…

A missed opportunity to include nurses which we hope the chair will resolve. @Ben_Bowers__ would be a very helpful addition to the panel. @TheQNI @johnunsworth10
We have written to request a greater nurse leadership voice on the Palliative Care Commission, signed by 40+ nurse and medic leaders - great work all @cewalshe & @alisonleary1

Being one of the contributors to this must-have book of wisdom for district nurses, I was very pleased when my complementary copy arrived on my doorstep yesterday. This is another legacy of @SamSherrington & a testament to her inclusive leadership... Have you got your copy?? – at City of London, London

I welcome this Commission but agree we need more nurses than 1 on the panel ! Since nurses provide most clinician-led EoL Care and have great insight. The panel is otherwise excellent
Lets pls address this @wesstreeting @Duncan_CNO @CrystalOldman @CNOWales @ij_higginson
I welcome the Palliative Care Commission, with some fabulous commissioners. But where is the nursing voice? Of 21 commissioners why 10 medical doctors and only 1 person with a nursing background? #hpm #hapc #nursing @alisonleary1 @theRCN

When the short film "Care & Loss" was made, we hoped it would make lives (and deaths) of #LGBTQ+ people better. It could now be up for an award! Even if not: please watch & hope it helps!

Tonight, I wanted to share talk about what impacted my life before I started my nurse training. Having 3 of the biggest life events in 3 months: one of the worst, one of the best, and one of the most stressful! Nurse training should be easy after that, right? #ProudPracticeNurse
