Thank you Kathryn, genuinely appreciated - all of it 🙏🏻

My mum has just started EoLC, syringe driver started today. I’ve found this really helpful @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social and just wanted to say thank you - not only is this a practical “what to expect” guide, but it’s also been presented with such consideration and compassion. Thank you hugely

Here’s another useful starter pack. I didn’t create it, but can share the link!

Lots of people you know…
