Inspired by ground-breaking #HYMSresearch into breathlessness, take a closer look at the incredibly exciting ‘Breathing Space’ garden coming to this year's Chelsea Flower Show!

Palliative and end-of-life care accounted for ~10% of community nursing activity, delivered predominantly out-of-hours with an increase in crisis assessment. Data likely underestimates contributions – standardised data is key for service configuration and high-quality care at home. #EAPC2026

Implementation of self-management programmes for breathlessness depends on • Individuals' • personal resources • Stressors • Other people's views, Interactions with the person with breathlessness • Healthcare organisations' priorities • Societal context and norms @annhutchinson.bsky.social #EAPC2026

These study findings amongst an under-researched group suggest an openness to earlier ACP. Future research should explore how best to incorporate advance care planning into personalised long-term condition management and non-medical contexts. Great work by @sonyabushell.bsky.social at #EAPC2026

Social determinants of health are associated with end-of-life decision making recorded in EPaCCS. This matters because understanding how social determinants shape recorded decisions is essential to ensure equitable, person-centred end-of-life care. Great work @sophielaw-clucas.bsky.social #EAPC2026

Pain was more common in the most deprived groups, but improvement was similar across all quintiles. In contrast, patients in the most deprived areas were less likely to improve in breathlessness, highlighting a "health gap" in specialist palliative care. Good work @assemmkhamis.bsky.social #EAPC2026

To prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and deliver sufficient support at home to enable hospital discharge towards the end-of-life, investment in and expansion of community-based care is needed. Good work by @assemmkhamis.bsky.social at #EAPC2026

Genuinely so excited to see our paper exploring “ #PalliativeMedicine in 2050: How will people live the last part of life” 📖 Thank you @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social for the invitation to contribute to this special themed edition of @rcphysicians.bsky.social @futurehealthj.bsky.social 📚

“Socio-economic inequalities shape end-of-life outcomes in advanced lung disease. People in the most deprived areas are more likely to die in hospital. This is seen across the social gradient but is most influenced by cause of death.” Great work by @donnawakefield.bsky.social at #EAPC2026

“Early recognition and management of breathlessness, especially in patients with unstable or deteriorating Phase of illness, should be a key focus of palliative care interventions.” Great work @assemmkhamis.bsky.social #EAPC2026

Many of us from Wolfson are here at the #EAPC2026 on European Palliative Care day-great to be here in Prague!

Who you are shapes your end-of-life care decisions. Evidence from 130686 London EPaCCS records: age, deprivation, disability, and diagnosis all associated. Say hi @ #EAPC2026 Wolfson Palliative Care Centre @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social Hull York Medical School hyms.ac.uk ​#EAPC @eapcvzw.bsky.social

Thanks so much for inviting me to share our #SystematicReview on #Inequalities in #PalliativeCare in #Lung disease today - #LungCancer, #Mesothelioma #COPD #ILD 🫁 🫁 🫁 🫁 Great to hear about all the other inspiring #PalliativeCare #Research @peolcsw.bsky.social 🙌 @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social

Angus Thompson, designer of The Breathing Space garden funded by @projectgivingback.bsky.social to be shown at Chelsea this year is doing the Paris marathon and it would be great if you could donate to @asthmaandlung.org.uk here: www.justgiving.com/page/angus-t...

Damp happens when there is a buildup of moisture inside a building. Breathing in mould can damage your lungs and worsen existing lung conditions. Common spots in your home to look out for damp and mould are corners, around windows and behind furniture. www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/living-with/...

🚨 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
