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.

#DMAW24#TheWayWeTalkAboutDyingMatters@NLondonHospice
So things have been slow, due to a shoulder injury. However during this time its amazing to have messages from colleagues asking where certain things are to use with our dying patients to give xtra support this makes me happy they feel they have someone to ask and care is given.

Planning a gathering over the festive season?
Why not include a #WhatMattersToMe conversation? π§΅
It's a joyful topic, & it can be the very thing that helps you understand each other better, or represent each other's views if that's ever needed in the future.
Some resources:

"It should be something we can celebrate and console each other with. But because it's become impolite to talk about dying, it's medicine's best secret."
@drkathrynmannix, argues that dying is something we should be reclaiming by talking about it: ow.ly/2RjN50PENyE
We've published the results of the Urgent and Emergency Care survey 2022.
π This survey looks at the experiences of people using type 1 and type 3 urgent and emergency care services buff.ly/3DxyJ0Y
Talking about death to people you care about is not easy, but practical advice & resources can help.
When we donβt have these honest conversations it can increase feelings of distress, loneliness and grief.
