80yr old choked to death as staff thought “DNR” (DNACPR) covered choking. It’s one of the things I include in my dysphagia training. DNACPR ≠ allow choking to death. There’s a difference between choking and a cardiac arrest. archive.ph/2023.05.16-204…

This is your friendly reminder that Weetabix is *not* IDDSI Level 4 purée diet. Blend for L4. Test against IDDSI Level 5 minced and moist audit sheet before giving to patient/resident. I pour milk on top, soak & mash in & avoid separate liquid. ^SR dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

🚨EXC: Assisted dying row as DWP data obtained by The Telegraph reveals patients given six months to live often survive for three years. One in five people told by NHS doctors that they will die in six months are still alive three years later, figures show. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/2…

I’m gutted this had passed. I’ll have nothing to do with it and will continue to campaign against it and for improved palliative and EOL care. #AssistedDyingBill
