Call it what it is. Don’t like “woke”? That’s probably racism
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"
Great to hear a research hero speak @uvic.ca @eapcvzw.bsky.social Dr Sally Thorne's work saved my PhD viva! Thank you Kelli Stajduhar for making this happen!
Great to hear @lucyselman.bsky.social talking about work in Weston-Super-Mare to the conference @uvic.ca @eapcvzw.bsky.social
Great to be in Victoria for the @eapcvzw.bsky.social public health palliative care reference group research seminar. This evening we are hearing the brilliant @waitingroomrev.bsky.social talking about their new book, Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest.
As we continue to challenge the inequities people experience within health and care systems, I’m delighted to see this powerful editorial from @jedjerwood.bsky.social published. Here’s some key learning points and insights from the @nobarriershere.bsky.social project - 5 years on.
Thx 🙏 @jedjerwood.bsky.social and @gemmaallen.bsky.social for genuinely changing the way so many of us approach and reflect on health inequity in palliative care @nobarriershere.bsky.social. Lessons for life here: “We must also be willing to share power, listen, slow down & do things differently.”
Gemma Allen (she/her)@gemmaallen.bsky.social · last yr.If we are brave enough to ask people about themselves and what and who is important to them, what they find difficult, what they are fearful of and what they need, we may have a chance to really improve the experiences of the people we care for.” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A fabulous Friday! Thank you @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social for insightful, thoughtful & honest conversations, plus adding your wise words to our hospice wisdom tree 🌲 Also a big thank you to @jedjerwood.bsky.social & @sharonhudson.bsky.social #palliativecare #hospice #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek
Tomorrow afternoon and evening is going to be special! We can’t wait to welcome @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social to @mshospice.bsky.social for these TWO sold out events for #DyingMattersWeek. In partnership with The Heath Bookshop, @brumyodo.bsky.social and @nobarriershere.bsky.social 💛
Was sent this article by @iwashyna.bsky.social by a trainee colleague after we diagnosed acute dying I’d read it before, but the quote in the concluding paragraph still stuns “A dying person needs to die like an exhausted person needs to sleep” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7640621/
Arrived in a very sunny University of Oxford for a week of Knowledge into Action at the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine
Wonder if scurryfunging also applies to when hospitals receive royal or governmental visits and everything works for 3 or 4 hours...
Susie Dent@susiedentwords.bsky.social · 2y agoWord of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.
New research workshops coming in Jan Feb 2025 for UK based folk - please consider taking part and circulating in your networks
Very exciting new #TeĀrai project - grateful for funding from @medresearchnz.bsky.social 🙏
Natalie Anderson PhD RN@cerebralnurse.bsky.social · 2y agoExcited to be involved with Te Ārai Research Group and Te Tāpui Atawhai (Auckland City Mission) on this project to develop a resource to support Advance Care Planning in partnership with people with lived experience of homelessness. #EoLC #HAPC #TeĀrai @medresearchnz.bsky.social
We need your help! We’d really appreciate your support sharing this post and info with your networks, consider taking part yourself or share with friends, colleagues and family, or making introductions to organisations who may want us to host a workshop for them/you in early 2025.
Thought for the day: Protecting people close to you by not telling them that you are dying is not, in fact, protecting them.
Wait until we finally start considering what “proper” palliative care is and for whom Inequalities have increased on the watch of hospices w slow movement in the right direction Palliative care is broader than specialist services Social care
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2y agoAssisted dying bill for England and Wales: what amendments are likely to be proposed?
Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?
I’ve heard a lot in the past weeks “if you legalise assisted dying, palliative care improves”. As though one automatically follows the other. This is, frankly, ridiculous. If we want to improve palliative care, if we want to provide true choice, we need to invest in it.
Dr Rachel Clarke@drrachelclarke.com · 2y agoMy direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
