Research by the author of this in The Lancet, Kate Binnie, informed the development of The Breathing Space garden, which won silver at RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year. Highlights the need for out-of-the-box thinking (and action) on breath literacy and health inequality @katebinnie.bsky.social

This research was pioneered by Hull York Medical School’s Dr @annhutchinson.bsky.social, which reframes breathlessness not just as a physical symptom, but as an experience shaped by emotional, cognitive and sensory factors.

Palliative and end-of-life care accounted for ~10% of community nursing activity, delivered predominantly out-of-hours with an increase in crisis assessment. Data likely underestimates contributions – standardised data is key for service configuration and high-quality care at home. #EAPC2026

Implementation of self-management programmes for breathlessness depends on • Individuals' • personal resources • Stressors • Other people's views, Interactions with the person with breathlessness • Healthcare organisations' priorities • Societal context and norms @annhutchinson.bsky.social #EAPC2026

These study findings amongst an under-researched group suggest an openness to earlier ACP. Future research should explore how best to incorporate advance care planning into personalised long-term condition management and non-medical contexts. Great work by @sonyabushell.bsky.social at #EAPC2026

Social determinants of health are associated with end-of-life decision making recorded in EPaCCS. This matters because understanding how social determinants shape recorded decisions is essential to ensure equitable, person-centred end-of-life care. Great work @sophielaw-clucas.bsky.social #EAPC2026

Pain was more common in the most deprived groups, but improvement was similar across all quintiles. In contrast, patients in the most deprived areas were less likely to improve in breathlessness, highlighting a "health gap" in specialist palliative care.
