Did you (or someone you know) care for a terminally ill family member who died when you were aged 25 or under? If so please consider taking part in one of our online focus groups to help us improve support for young carers. Pls contact me on [email protected]. Many thanks!

Do read the article because this is the perspective of an extraordinarily strong supporter of the Bill, who has baldly and honestly outlined where things are now prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/a-good-d…

1. Let’s take a look at some of these “scaremongering and ideological opponents”. First up, the Association for Palliative Medicine. The APM opposes the bill due to “concerns about protection of vulnerable, frail, elderly, disabled and terminally ill people”.

We know the state of palliative care is poor, with many people not receiving the care they need, and stark inequalities. We have decades of research telling us that. What is needed is high quality palliative care available to all.

"The Equality and Human Rights Commission state that when there are evidence gaps for particular groups, consultation and engagement... is essential to understand their experience and needs... They haven’t done any of that. It’s really lightweight.” Jamilla Hussain 👏🙏

I'm frequently asked, often by worried healthcare students, whether it's 'wrong' to show our emotions when we are supporting patients and their beloveds through difficult times, unwelcome news, anticipatory grief and deep sorrow. Here's my experience: 🧵 virtualhospice.ca/en_US/Main+Sit…

1. Kim Leadbeater claims—without giving details—that criticism of the bill has not been “well-informed or accurate”. Who are these ill-informed critics throwing around inaccuracies? An incomplete list:
