Excellent work by our End of Life Studies Group - their Dying in the Margins study with @mariecurieuk.bsky.social has helped shape legislation for the rights of terminally ill Scots.
Terminally ill Scots will benefit from strengthened housing protections, following key amendments to the Housing (Scotland) Bill.
The @uofgdumfries.bsky.social @mariecurieuk.bsky.social ‘Dying in the Margins’ study was central to informing these amendments.
