Palliative and end-of-life care accounted for ~10% of community health nursing activity, delivered predominantly out-of-hours with an increase in crisis assessment.

“Socio-economic inequalities shape end-of-life outcomes in advanced lung disease. People in the most deprived areas are more likely to die in hospital. This is seen across the social gradient but is most influenced by cause of death.” Great work by @donnawakefield.bsky.social at #EAPC2026

Who you are shapes your end-of-life care decisions. Evidence from 130686 London EPaCCS records: age, deprivation, disability, and diagnosis all associated. Say hi @ #EAPC2026 Wolfson Palliative Care Centre @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social Hull York Medical School hyms.ac.uk ​#EAPC @eapcvzw.bsky.social
