🧵/ Today a damning parliamentary report on the state of palliative care services in England was published.
Services are patchy, underfunded & “ill-equipped” to address end-of-life needs.
Bereavement support is “frequently inaccessible.
The palliative care workforce is in a “critical” situation”.

The Health and Social Care Committee’s evaluation of palliative care in England was published yesterday.
It’s hugely important, not least in the context of the assisted dying bill.

Warning issued as palliative care in England is ‘failing to meet people’s needs’
A new report has highlighted that bereavement support for loved ones, while "valuable", is "frequently inaccessible".

I think @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social is absolutely right in this piece from the @bmj.com last month.
Some bits of healthcare can be simple and transactional, but a lot is much more nuanced, and there’s an important role for senior wise clinicians.

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
