I realise I can be irritating,but when it's a matter of people not receiving high-quality compassionate care, I make no apologies. I realise nursing in today's turbulent health service is difficult, & I stand with you to change this, but always be kind,a smile can change the world for our patients.
I could cry, was rang by a friend in mid Essex hospital,bad reaction to chemo, impacted given meds not able to get to loo quick enough as has iv in situ having accidents, no pads, no loo roll, no care no dignity. I get staff are busy but this is beyond what is acceptable xxx

If government funded hospices appropriately, some of the pressure could be relieved, freeing up bed. We need more hospice beds and community staff. Gd Eol care is a right for all

Advocating for people to receive the best end of life care, and seeing come to fruition is one of the most satisfying elements of my role as Soul midwife and advocate. I am so blessed to be able to do this x

This week, I have experienced life as a worried mum. My adult daughter had a query Gastric bleed needing transfusion and investigation. GP tried to fast track, but no, waited waited and waited until she collapsed. I witnessed so called corridor care, which is not care. We cannot accept this

Missed this at the time - such a thoughtful, measured & predictably wise piece from @pwhitakerwriter.bsky.social on assisted dying. www.newstatesman.com/politics/hea...
For assisted dying to work, GPs need to know their patients
Ending a life must be a choice made between alternatives; not one taken because of a failure to provide proper healthcare.

Well, today may start the change in the law regarding assisted dying. Whatever your view, I respect that. Let's stand together as people who care about those approaching their eol. We put patients first's, that is what binds us. #nursestogether

On one hand, Nadine Dorres says people feel safe with the arm of the state around them, then says, "Would you trust the state? Mixed messaging there, Nadine. Then, she speaks of the Liverpool care pathway, so out of date, #bbclaurak

The Assisted Dying Bill is a Private Members' Bill.

Many MPs and commentators have made claims about the process for this Bill, but how accurate are they?

Dear all please don't think a yes vote for AD on the 29th means that's it. It's just the beginning, and the Bill has to pass many stages. Don't listen to the rhetoric. Get the facts
