Congratulations to the brilliant Dr Lewis Paton, Lecturer in Data Science at HYMS and @york.ac.uk, who has been awarded a prestigious @sdruk.bsky.social Fellowship to investigate how online video consumption is related to mental health and wellbeing:

Come and join us at our Biennial Palliative Care conference on 8th July 2026 in Yorkshire - see www.hyms.ac.uk/research/res... to register or submit an abstract @flissmurtagh.bsky.social @jonathankoffman.bsky.social @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social @hyms.ac.uk @universityofhull.bsky.social

Almost 1 in 3 people in England die without the basic end-of-life care they need. New #HYMSresearch from @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social in partnership with @uniofhull.bsky.social, @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, & funded by @mariecurieuk.bsky.social, warns that need will rise without urgent action:

🚨 JUST IN: New research shows nearly 1 in 3 people don’t get the end of life care they need. This is unacceptable. Dying people deserve better. The UK government must make end of life care a priority so everyone feels cared for, comfortable and pain-free when they’re dying.
