Edith Stein, writing for Christmas about love being to whoever needs it, not just blood relations. “There is no stranger” She wrote this in 1931. 11 years later she went to her death in Auschwitz. Wishing you and all a very Happy Christmas. Pax et Bonum

Disabled people tried to warn you

We pleaded you to see the eugenics of the “let it rip” strategy & the rise of Assisted Dying policies

A death with dignity can’t be provided when there’s no guarantee of life with dignity

In Canada, you can get MAiD in less time than it takes to see a specialist

'God is merciful': Gov. Hochul to sign bill allowing medically assisted death in NY

She says she's requested some changes from state lawmakers before she signs off on the measure.

By fostering trust, humility, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, we show how these qualities prevent disengagement and lead to more deliverable, better and more sustainable outcomes.

Our chapter argues that effective support for improvement is not just about technical expertise—it depends on understanding the unique culture, politics, and relationships within each context.

“We thank the committee for this report – we remain committed to transforming palliative and end of life care through our 10-Year Health Plan.”

I’ve read the NHS 10-year plan cover to cover.

It’s 171 pages long.

Guess how many times the words “palliative care” appear?

Once.

Dr Rachel Clarke @drrachelclarke.com · 28d

🧵/ Today a damning parliamentary report on the state of palliative care services in England was published.

Services are patchy, underfunded & “ill-equipped” to address end-of-life needs.

Bereavement support is “frequently inaccessible.

The palliative care workforce is in a “critical” situation”.

Protective factors matter:
✅ Strong family & community ties
✅ Trusted adults
✅ Creativity & play
✅ Physical activity
✅ Supportive schools

Prof Jim McManus, OCDS, D.Sc,FFPH,FBPsS, @jimmcmanusph.bsky.social · Nov 25

Causes are complex: poverty, inequality, academic pressure, digital influences
There IS hope. BUT let's stop grabbing simplistic causes (eg it's ALL social media. No it isn't. It plays a part but so do many other things. If we seize too readily on “the problem” we wont get the answers right.)

Prof Jim McManus, OCDS, D.Sc,FFPH,FBPsS, @jimmcmanusph.bsky.social · Nov 25

New joint statement from @PublicHealthW highlights:
✔ Emotional difficulties like anxiety & depression rising
✔ Causes: poverty, inequality, academic pressure, digital influence
✔ Rates doubled since 2004
