Writer who likes to hula hoop and swim in cold water. Runs a bit too. Latest book: ‘Keep On Dying.’ Please read if you’re even remotely involved in end of life care. 🏴

Not the cheeriest of reads, I grant you, but if you are involved in or care about end of life care, I would ask you to read about our family’s experience.

Two years ago, my dying mum was mocked, humiliated and subjected to an act of appalling cruelty by a care assistant on an acute medical ward. I remain scarred by the events of that dreadful day. #endoflifecare

Two years ago. The day when Mum asked me to write a book about the chaos on the acute medical ward where she was dying.

Two years ago. After the harrowing experience of A&E, we naively thought that Mum’s pain would be controlled and that she would be treated with dignity and kindness. She had less than a week to live.

Yes, it’s fizz and pizza night. Kitchen disco highlights include Bowie (Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide), Beach Boys (I Was Made to Love Her), Hannah Hu (Love is Easy Chaos) - good shout @Des - and Cinder Well because Small Prophets is the new black.
American hot-style and sardines and anchovy pizzas. Whoop!
