📣New #NESBereavementPodcast out now.
@katewoodybath and @johnmacartney discuss the sociological perspectives of death, dying & bereavement and consider the phrase ‘loved ones’ - is it an appropriate catch-all or a problematic phrase?

How can social science and humanities help us “to know dying”?
This week, Marie Curie, the @LindAlliance and partners, including cofunders the @ESRC and @MND Association launched a refreshed list of priorities for palliative and end of life care research.
Researchers at the @OpenUniversity @openthanatology, @uniofwarwick and @UCLPsychiatry /Marie Curie took on the task of bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines to identify five research areas for social sciences and humanities, based on the questions generated through the priority setting process.
These research areas were:
Experience, practice and education
Awareness, communication and planning
Power, ethics and transitions
Time, space and care
Diversity, equity and society
Each of these areas is explored and expanded upon in the To Know Dying report. The report outlines how a range of disciplinary approaches, including social sciences and humanities, are required to address the complex, multifaceted issues in palliative and end of life care.

CVFs "wishlist"
None of this is happening currently, although patients sometimes ask for staff to mask
*See a mask, wear a mask*
would be much simpler than self-advocacy.

There is no testing in healthcare.
This is a problem for Clinically Vulnerable people who are "high users of healthcare".
CVF advocates for #MasksInHealthcare.

Current guidance for immune suppressed people is to:
↔️Ask visitors to keep their distance.
📥Take a lateral flow test
😷Ask them to wear a face covering
😷You may want to wear a face covering yourself
Cathy flags the juxtaposition of this advice with risks in healthcare.

Yet not all of CVFs members have the ability to delay or cancel appointments due to their serious health conditions.
Or they can delay some things to avoid Covid peaks, but not others.

ALT (Q47) Quote from CVF Member "I feel healthcare is no longer safe, now that masking has been removed, I find every visit stressful. I spend a week before and after feeling very anxious and worried. I can't cancel appointments, I need my treatments, I still need facial surgery for my skin cancer, but I have delayed having a minor surgery to have my port removed. It seemed safer in 2020 because everyone as masked, there were more virtual appointments available, and the hospitals were much quieter." Juliet, aged 59

Removing mitigations from healthcare settings has a disproportionate impact on those who carry the greatest risk, although all within healthcare will have higher risks as they are generally a more vulnerable population.

The removal of masks in healthcare has has a direct impact on the health of Clinically Vulnerable people who have increasingly had to delay or cancel their appointments due to high Covid risks.

#MasksInHealthcare
CVF members who wore good quality (FFP2/ FFP3) masks were told to remove them by staff who may have been poorly informed.

Q - Why did you have a mask on before the show?
A - I have a duty of care not to spread disease to the vulnerable people I care for. I also want to protect myself, being in the highest risk group for #LongCovid. Dawn Bowdish Immunologist

🚨New paper!🚨
tl;dr Hospice staff are uncertain how a “living with covid” approach helps promote quality of life left, but find it difficult to address as covid mitigations are strongly associated with negative emotions of the emergency period.
