A lot of care happens outside hospitals and hospices…
“Seriously ill and dying people spend only about 5% of their final year of life in the direct care of healthcare services, with friends, family, and community members without healthcare training providing much of the remaining support.”

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

Well he was ever-so-toxic about disability ("its me mum, so I know all about it") during his selling of EOLC Act to us. So I'm not surprised he's likely to peddle it regularly.
