In response to the Prime Minister’s announcement that the General Election will take place on Thursday 04 July 2024. We are calling on all parties to prioritise the prevention of mental ill-health and recognise there is no health without mental health.

5th July 2024 is the 76th Anniversary of the founding of the #NHS isn’t it?

Where’s the British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter UK Prime Minister?

Calling a #GeneralElection is one of the biggest moves our country can make – deaf people deserve to have that information at the same time as everyone else. This is not good enough! (1/2)

I don't get to vote in the general election, but I do have to live with whoever you elect. No pressure.

OK, British students, start researching how to get a postal vote NOW, and figure out where best to use it. You are PERFECTLY ENTITLED to be registered at both a term-time and permanent address, and to vote from whichever suits you, as long as you only cast one vote!

Beyond belief

With the upcoming general election, end of life care must be considered.

As demand surges, hospices need support now to continue providing vital care to those who need it most.

We're urging all parties to make end-of-life care a top priority.

Barriers to deprescribing at the end of life #bgsconf

This video is well worth 10 minutes of anyone's time. It will remind you that the world is a good place full of kind people, some of whom are struggling.

About how other clinicians refer (or not) to palliative care...

This was brilliant.

This election, dying matters.

Today, with @MarieCurieUK, Together for Short Lives, Sue Ryder & Bereavement Alliance, we've written to party leaders, urging them to fix the crisis in end of life care.

Our polling sheds light on the importance of language when talking about death and dying.

And despite the crucial role these conversations play in good end-of-life care, many barriers exist.

As #DMAW24 starts, we explore why 👇

Powerful. And triggering.

Sadly, people are right to worry. Access to palliative and end of life care is a patchy post code lottery with very limited resources. Hospice care even more limited. ICB’s ongoing refusal to fund PEOLC in line with law & guidance will only exacerbate issue as population ages.

This is a really wonderful tribute to Chris & offers a glimpse of the incredible writer, passionate historian & sparkling wit of the man behind the books.

In a surprise (to absolutely no one who knows anything about healthcare)

Oh this is sad, had hoped for more Shardlake novels. RIP.
