I’ll be giving a public talk in Cambridge on 12th Nov about death, dying, symptoms, society, policy and palliation. Come!

This is a wonderful initiative: a 'make a wish' ambulance to fulfill end of life requests: see a mountain or a concert, go to the beach or a sports game, visit your family or the chip shop. ambulancewishfoundation.org.… They are willing to consider all requests. Pass it on! 1/

This is great news. Not just the money (which let’s face it is 2.5% of what the Hospice sector has to raise annually), but the message. Great that the PM acknowledges funding challenges in the hospice sector, and to have his support. Well done @TraceyBleakley @Peston @hospiceuk

Imagine a world where the #NHS only part funded cardiology, where 3/4 angioplasties relied on second hand clothing and fun runs. This is the reality for #EndOfLifeCare
