This is welcome legislation. Hospital patients and residents of care homes should be free to have loved ones visit. Risks can be managed. Best interests of the person not the provider need to come first thetimes.co.uk/article/f02ad0…

Humans have 100% mortality. The rate of dementia is increasing. So, have you planned ahead to ensure you get what you want and reduce future burden on your loved ones? Love the gist of this book. Compassion in Dying has great resources to get started with thetimes.co.uk/article/8c85c6…

Hospices are under enormous financial strain. We offer vital support to our communities. Will Quince James Cleverly🇬🇧 Bernard Jenkin MP Giles Watling please speak on behalf of St Helena at parliamentary debate on support for hospices 9.30-11am Weds 14 July. Hospice UK

People support assisted dying for many different reasons, from those who want some control at the end of their own life, to those who have accompanied a loved one to Dignitas. We will campaign alongside them until every dying person has true choice at the end of life.

Last meeting as Board member of Dignity in Dying today, having served for 6 yrs. An inspiring & well run organisation. I am a proud supporter of legalising option of assisted dying. We need to listen to dying people & public opinion & embrace alongside hospice & palliative care

Random recommendations for your weekend: listen to Christine and the Queens; watch The Gallows Pole; enjoy the 🌞

I remember a few jobs back helping launch the Expert Patients Programme in Cambs. Worked really well. It’s great to see a number of initiatives continuing to apply similar principles. Well done Compassion in Dying for sharing this

This is a great initiative led by St Helena to grow and develop the HCA workforce across all providers in NE Essex linkedin.com/posts/sthelena…

A strong argument for legalising the option of #assisteddying is the no. of suicides & attempted suicides by dying people. The Last Resort report exposes the shocking stats & is a powerful reminder that the status quo can be unsafe & lack compassion - features.dignityindying.org.uk/last-resort/

Great comment piece on failures of successive Govts to sort out social care. It would be better to invest in it than NHS in terms of health, wellbeing, & dignity. Also an even stronger, more immediate case for carer pay reform - I get the NHS needs ££ too thetimes.co.uk/article/42679e…

Recommendations for the weekend: listen to Sigur Ros; read Underland; watch Living.

Evidence not only of the power of social investment to support local communities but also the merit in charities and social enterprises adopting different investment strategies to achieve their purpose theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

It is my pleasure to talk with Victoria Butler-Cole KC about terminology & legal framework that underpin the MCA, LPAs & DoLS + the CoP experience 🎧speakforme.co.uk/podcast-episod… Open Justice Court of Protection Project Celia Kitzinger Kathryn Mannix Tor Butler-Cole #AdvanceCarePlanning

Frankly, instead of criticising some of our most important & lowest paid staff for asking for fairer pay why aren't the BoE & Govt looking at windfall taxes & regulation to tackle profiteering amongst supermarkets, banks, insurers etc. theguardian.com/business/2023/…

An exciting development, but frustrating that progress on #assisteddying at Westminster is lagging behind IoM, Jersey, Scotland

Welcome investment in NHS workforce. There are opportunities for hospices within this. But let's not overlook omissions. We must advocate for VCSE inclusively, more digital innovation, social care integration, & more focus on community assets.

Disappointing but not new findings by HSIB investigation into EOLC. All have known for many years that 24/7 support, ability to make & digitally share ACPs, & consistent level of funding of & access to services is req'd. Why hasn't Govt & NHS done more? thetimes.co.uk/article/fa7fab…

Fascinating and emotional article about one experience illustrating unsentimentally how people want and need different things toward end of life, and hmwhat they're willing to do to maintain control thetimes.co.uk/article/b0740a…
