When I was in treatment the words “palliative care” scared me. I wish I had done more research and I wish my doctors talked to me about it. So I wanted to offer this infographic as a starting point for you to maybe have a convo with your doctor (if you feel it could be helpful).

Critical Care Sunset Sharing Hour - listening to @tweetiepike tell our audience of >100 about the human costs of glove use in the supply chain - eye opening! Gloves - use them appropriately - 'PPE is a privilege' Intensive Care Society 💙 Centre for Sustainable Healthcare IPS @HeatherBaid Jennie Wilson

Enjoying the #glovesoff webinar from the @SusHealthc ITU network with Sam Clark @tweetiepike and @HeatherBaid. Shocking realities about how staff are treated in glove production. The social impact of gloves is huge throughout their life cycle. THINK before you use them!

Fantastic talk from Jennie Wilson (Critical Care Sunset Sharing Hour) who's work has helped me so much in glove use reduction campaigns at Wirral NHS Hospitals - Arrowe Park & Clatterbridge @LivHospitals and to drive this further.

This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people. Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend Source: TikTok @ tinabridge

Food for thought in this evening's webinar. Firstly, death and dying in the ICU needs extra thought and different approaches... Support needs to focus around helping families to 'say goodbye' and how to go on to remember or memorialise their loved one... 🧵1/x

To share with the public, then, Kim Leadbeater MBE MP, videos which imply that patients can die in "unbearable suffering" in the UK & that there is "nothing doctorscan do to help" is grossly misleading. It is, frankly, in my view, very close to scaremongering. (7/n)
