Yup, this is why we need to respond to Sir Chris Whittys survey request about medical training for the future. We must plan for a workforce who can deliver healthcare aligned to needs of patients, the majority of which have MLTC. Similar, of course, for nursing/AHP @gerisoc.bsky.social

Great thread & sorry not to be there. Similar issues being discussed @commission for end of life care to inform report; how to identify people with needs, support through integrated approaches, what metrics to use, how to support staff across disciplines/sectors & engage public @gerisoc.bsky.social

50% patients with lung cancer die in hospital in Wales. Admissions are long, multiple & for a lot of people it’s far from their choice. Needs are predictable - care is unplanned. @mariecurieuk.bsky.social @rcphysicians.bsky.social
