"And there it was again, the messy table: glue sticks, paper, laughter, tears, and the brave beauty of people sharing what matters most. These workshops are never tidy, but they are always real." A blog from Bridget Corneil, a No Barriers Here facilitator 🇨🇦 www.nobarriershere.org/messy-table-...

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?...
