First bluesky post! My new editorial with Catherine Evans and @proflizsampson.bsky.social calls out the misuse of 'person-centred care' in policy and outcome measurement as vague and oversimplified, especially for those with dementia. Full article on request!

Assisted Dying Bill,
Is assisted dying a ‘choice’ when there is a pressing need for funding for palliative care services? Charities & community services face resource constraints, shortage of district nurses, & primary care systems under huge strain. Adequate social care remains a critical concern.

#HPM #palliative #endoflife reflecting on my weekend working. #assiteddying has come up a lot both for & against but specifically about empowering ppl to make decisions about how they live until they die. Conversations can be hard, but can done as a co-navigator of their lives

"Nursing's image and identity" illustrated by a picture of Florence Nightingale.

Social reformer, skilled statistician, data visualisation pioneer, health system improvement revolutioniser. A good choice of image for the topic 💪

This is a great thread
We found across specialisms people needing palliation that proactive case management by CNS was a much better option than routine OP and patients had more equitable access to care & MDT if required #CNSValue
Bridging the Gap in OP #Palliative Care
A study on outpatient palliative care use in patients with serious illnesses highlights barriers to equitable access & sustained care. Factors affecting clinic attendance in patients with advanced cancer, CHF, COPD, and ESRD were looked at.

Good palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying – this bill means Labour must fund it
@doctoroxford.bsky.social

NHS can’t fund assisted deaths but expect charity to fund palliative care

This must be funded

Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

On assisted dying I'm genuinely open to all debate and have no fixed view but many of the egs given are people who already have choice in their lives or power over what happens to them in other areas. How does this interact with poverty/complex social backgrounds/difficult family dynamics etc.
