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
“Early recognition and management of breathlessness, especially in patients with unstable or deteriorating Phase of illness, should be a key focus of palliative care interventions.” Great work @assemmkhamis.bsky.social #EAPC2026
“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

Building Critical Mass for Palliative Care Research | Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre
The world population is ageing and, with the growth of multi-morbidities, UK deaths are expected to increase by 40% by 2040. New models of care and treatments are urgently needed to improve quality of life for the significantly increased number of people living with life-limiting illnesses. Yet research activity remains extremely limited and neglected, with a severe lack of critical mass of academics and research centres to build the palliative care evidence base. www.hyms.ac.uk/wolfson

Powerful plenary by @mhoira.bsky.social giving voice to the voiceless — healthcare workers under attack in conflict zones. They speak of feeling abandoned. The closing word cloud from the audience says it all — deeply moving and unforgettable. #Humanity #EAPC2025 @eapcvzw.bsky.social
