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.
