Earlier this month, I met with @hospiceuk.bsky.social to discuss the future of hospice care, post-NHS 10-year Health Plan. With rising costs, growing demand, and service cuts, as @tobyhporter.bsky.social highlights, this important sector urgently needs investment.

Palliative care consultant @doctoroxford.bsky.social argues that society could unintentionally 'coerce' people into assisted dying because hospice care is underfunded and unable to offer people a real choice between managed pain and suffering or assisted dying.

Hospice funding is complex but yesterday's announcement of £100m is a very welcome boost & we thank @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social for his personal commitment to the hospice sector. Many thanks to @tobyhporter.bsky.social @charliejking.bsky.social & all the team at @hospiceuk.bsky.social

Everybody who has read, heard or watched anything about assisted dying in recent days, and who has been left with questions, must read this. I guarantee you'll learn something you didn't know.

Interesting polling from More in Common. Just as compelling in my view is another report in The Sunday Times today on life in a hospice. If it were up to me I'd have every MP spend two days in a hospice before voting as Steve Bleach did here. www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

What do hospice patients think about assisted dying?

Our writer’s mind was made up on the issue. But at St Christopher’s he found people determined to appreciate their final days, and the carers making it happen

"Funding palliative care properly is morally right and financially wise." @economist.com nails it it 300 words.

Post you from a different era? My mate's mom's 50th, about 2003-4.

My first post on here and I couldn't be happier it's about this. Dan and his team have been brilliant to work with. This programme could not be better timed, or more important.
