“It’s the autonomy, stupid!” 👏👏👏 Dr Cajetan Skowronski thecritic.co.uk/the-assisted-d…

This piece states that that while the Royal College of Psychiatrists has ‘raised concerns’, many of these are ‘already addressed’ by changes made to the Bill. Err no. None of the concerns raised by Royal College of Psychiatrists on 13th May have been addressed rcpsych.ac.uk/news-and-featu…

Resorting to smoke and mirrors to push a bill over the line does not inspire confidence in it (or them)

How has the quality of care experienced by people in their last months of life changed since 2015? This table from the Palliative Care Commission is pretty depressing.

Interview with 💙Rachael Maskell MP in Prospect’s rolling coverage of the assisted dying bill prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/a-good-d…

Important thread on the potential impact of assisted dying / suicide for the health/care workforce - something that has had v little attention.

Brilliant session on closing the evidence-policy gap in palliative and end of life care 👏 #eapc2025 EAPC VZW

So happy that our paper won Palliative Medicine Paper of the Year! This paper was part of the OPTIMAL-Care study brilliantly led by Matthew Allsop, and was a true team effort involving many people. Read the paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… #EAPC2025

Assisted dying will cause wrongful deaths. How many can we accept? Thank you Mark Mardell Prospect for giving me the opportunity to talk about what I think is the most important (unanswered) question in this debate. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/a-good-d…

#EAPC2025 powerful plenaries and interesting talks. Very useful session on “Closing the evidence-policy gap in palliative and end of life care.”

The reason this stands out to me is that over the past few months, as I’ve spoken to MPs and their teams about the bill, many of those who normally work hard to advocate for the most at-risk—disabled people, domestic abuse survivors, those with mental illness—don’t see the need

Death is inevitable; treating people as disposable because they might be in the last 6 months of life isn't.
