Important and useful report and recommendations for all of us involved in hospice and palliative care.

Everyone deserves excellent #endoflife care, but for many in the trans & gender diverse community, barriers make accessing it difficult. Published in February, our report sets out recommendations for professionals so everyone feels safe & supported. loom.ly/hyztXwE

Children’s palliative and end of life care is a specialist area which most of us instinctively shy away from. This #childrenshospiceweek we wanted to explain what children’s palliative care means and what children’s hospices do togetherforshortlives.org.uk… #BestInterests

Any thoughts on this question? what elements of the social side of the IPU could return with COVID restrictions slowly easing? What social activities are provided for patients? How does this impact on care they are receiving? Who is delivering this, volunteers and/or staff? šŸ‘‡
