It’s #PrideMonth & we’re sharing our resource ‘It’s more than rainbows in receptions’ - Working with LGBTQ+ People in Palliative and End of Life Care. Inclusive and accessible #PEoLC care should be a right - not a privilege Illustration:@casshm.bsky.social www.nobarriershere.org/wp-content/u...

"If we as individuals and players in health systems, lean into discomfort, & it IS uncomfortable, of being with people we find different to ourselves & put down the pressure to know everything about everyone, we might connect back to our professional & human curiosity?" 👏 @jedjerwood.bsky.social

We’re thrilled to see No Barriers Here being piloted with veterans by the team at St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire 💚 This work is growing because of our partners & community & we believe that this is the first time NBH has been used with veterans in the UK. Photos: St Catherine’s Hospice

Thx 🙏 @jedjerwood.bsky.social and @gemmaallen.bsky.social for genuinely changing the way so many of us approach and reflect on health inequity in palliative care @nobarriershere.bsky.social. Lessons for life here: “We must also be willing to share power, listen, slow down & do things differently.”

Really pleased to share this reflective editorial published today in Progress in Palliative Care www.tandfonline.com/eprint/TMKYD... @nobarriershere.bsky.social @gemmaallen.bsky.social @ellieclack.bsky.social @sharonhudson.bsky.social @jamillahussain1.bsky.social

It’s #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek This film from our No Barriers Here study shares the stories & end of life choices of people often excluded from palliative care due to identity, culture, ethnicity & race. Because dignity, choice & individualised care matters for everyone youtu.be/G-ToRCT3UiU?...

I think in terms of diverse public engagement @nobarriershere.bsky.social @gemmaallen.bsky.social @jedjerwood.bsky.social Have done an amazing job and bring the community together rather than try and speak for us

“We’re never going to know everything about everyone in advance and if we do then we are probably homogenising people” @jedjerwood.bsky.social presenting ‘It’s more than rainbows in receptions’ @nobarriershere.bsky.social #HospiceUKConf

On my way to @hospiceuk.bsky.social conference in Glasgow - looking forward to presenting @nobarriershere.bsky.social 'It's More Than Rainbows in Receptions - LGBTQ+ people and palliative care' on Tuesday #hospiceukconf

Do join us tomorrow at 15:30 ⬇️ #HUKConf2024 #hpm

We’re looking forward to working alongside @breathtobones.bsky.social and Fanshawe College on this piece of work, well done Jodi! 👏 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 #collaboration #hpc #deathstudies #research

Absolutely fantastic work! About to recommed all over the place! Are you still doing training @nobarriershere.bsky.social ?

Hello to all our new followers! If you’ve followed us over from the other place it’s lovely to reconnect, if you’ve only just discovered us then welcome to our community and movement 😃 This film shares a little of who we are and what we do. youtu.be/vyeEFl_DO #hpm

This is such a beautiful film - amazing work. And real resonance with our approach in the #TeĀrai research group #hapc

No Barriers Here is a wonderful, creative and inclusive approach to end of life care planning. We included it in our toolkit for people with learning disabilities www.victoriaandstuart.com

A creative workshop took place last week, facilitated by Lisa from the NBH team & community engagement officer Maria, enabled by Inclusive Communities funding The session took place in a day service for adults with learning disabilities & everyone is looking forward to the next one! #community

This work transforms advance care plan making it real, true and equitable. If you haven't explored it yet... where have you been? 😉

Not everyone receives equitable access to #palliativecare or has the opportunity to think about their future care wishes Discover how the approach is helping us to listen & understand barriers that people underserved by palliative care & wider healthcare systems experience youtu.be/vyeEFl_DOHo
