🚨 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.

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:

Delighted to see our research on #AdvanceCarePlanning bjgp.org/content/76/7... published and featured in @bjgp.bsky.social editorial. bjgp.org/content/76/7... It suggests that ACP could be discussed earlier with people before onset of advanced illness or severe frailty. @sonyabushell.bsky.social

New paper published @flissmurtagh.bsky.social Funding for palliative research remains very low: out of total of 18,023 health research awards in 2022, only 136 related to palliative research – just 0.26% of the total £4.2billion awarded. See spcare.bmj.com/content/earl...

Our researchers presented their work at a @universityofhull.bsky.social event held in the @houseoflords.parliament.uk highlighting the need for continued investment in palliative care research and improved access to services across the UK. @flissmurtagh.bsky.social @miriamjohnsonhyms.bsky.social

My absolute pleasure to talk about palliative care in the ICU at this year’s @ics-updates.bsky.social #SOA2025. It makes me very happy to see how much traction the conversation is getting and the eagerness from both palliative and intensive care to learn and grow. @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social

COPD | This interview study with patients and carers highlights the importance of plain language (‘flare up’ rather than 'exacerbation') and the lasting effect on patient behaviour of a clinician's response to help-seeking for flare-ups ➡️ doi.org/10.3399/BJGP...

Early emphasis on symptom management, preparation for exacerbations, and post-exacerbation reviews are practical ways that clinicians can support patients and carers to manage these events better. Read more here: bjgpopen.org/content/earl...

Nationally data is gathered on quality of cancer care when CURATIVE- screening, access to treatment & outcomes, survival….. But no agreed measure/monitoring of QUALITY for those with advanced cancer This feels wrong! Great talk & discussion by Dr Lesley Henson 👏👏 @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social
