NEW PAPER People from minority ethnic groups face inequities in palliative and end-of-life care, yet research methods often fail to capture them. We worked with patients, carers, clinicians, and researchers to develop 13 principles for better research on ethnicity in palliative care. #palliativecare

It still concerns me that the only direct consultation with marginalised groups on the #AssistedDyingBill has been the tiny bits I’ve done I summarise the key findings here MPs must not take the silencing of these groups as reassurance #AssistedDying @katiewhitemp.bsky.social

One of the (many) take home messages being that people struggle to communicate about death and dying - even healthcare professionals As a society we need to normalise talking about dying (since we all will) #PalliativeCare #EndOfLifeCare #HaPC #HPC #MedSky

First bluesky post! My new editorial with Catherine Evans and @proflizsampson.bsky.social calls out the misuse of 'person-centred care' in policy and outcome measurement as vague and oversimplified, especially for those with dementia.

Terminal illness is already characterised by uncertainty about the future trajectory. Prognostic uncertainty will become a more central issue if eligibility for assisted dying hinges on prognosis, say @samurray3.bsky.social and @simonnoahetkind.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...
