GM Ringway Stage 2 @ Sale Water Park - Didsbury on @gojauntly.bsky.social I will give it a 3/5. I suspect a nicer spring/summer walk. Today was very muddy but still pleasant. walks.gojauntly.com/walks/gm-rin...

Well said: “the majority of the investment announced today does not cover day-to-day running costs, such as staffing and other essential outgoings needed to give round the clock care” &”End-of-life care involves numerous parts of the health and care sectors in all four UK nations working together”

Is capital spending really what the hospice sector needs? Or is it fairer, equitable, transparent and recurrent funding from NHS Integrated Care Boards? Hospice expenditure is mostly people, not things.

Well worth a read… #AssistedDying www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD. Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that. But will they? Or will they turn their backs on dying people? www.lbc.co.uk/news/palliat...

Last day working at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust. Thank you for the wonderful send off! The next chapter of my life starts soon so I’ll keep you all updated.

An interesting read #AssistedDying yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Off for a long walk then…

Just watched another news report on #AssistedDying. But it was this comment that I’d like to explore: “Palliative Care needs to be improved”. Does palliative care need improvement? Or is it about equitable access to well funded and well resourced palliative care services? #PalliativeCare #HPM #HAPC
