Oh this is very sad news indeed. Robert Twycross was hugely important to the development of palliative care in the UK and beyond. He was kind, thoughtful and humble. He published this paper on assisted dying earlier this year, a topic he cared deeply about bmcpalliatcare.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/10…

This is important. There is so much confusion and fear around pain, and use of drugs such as morphine, at the end of life. We often hear “Doctors already give people drugs at the end of life with the intention of killing them” Short thread…

Please read our The Times and The Sunday Times letter about what dying is typically like. It would be so easy to fear from the examples cited in the assisted dying debate that horrific death is the norm. It isn't - really. Between us we have >300 yrs of combined experience treating dying people.

I wrote an article about my dad's death, and how it affected my views on assisted dying, published in the Times Free version here
