Calling @pccongress.bsky.social delegates 👋Join us today for an interactive session on community nursing in palliative and end-of-life care with talks from Dr Sophie Pask and Dr Ben Bowers & panel discussion with Dr Idris Baker, Sherree Fagge & Dr Sarah Mitchell & chaired by Prof. Fliss Murtagh.

Delighted and inspired that we are being challenged to stop patting each other on the back, recognise the real pressures in tbe system and be ACTIVE in changing our approach @idrisbaker.bsky.social & Dr Feargal Twomey #PCC2025

Still time to submit evidence to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) (assisted dying) committee. Ideally in the next few days (though no official deadline).

It’s striking that proponents (including KL herself and campaigning groups) don’t appear to be publicising this call.

Common Starling is what we'd call it, or European Starling. Sturnus vulgaris.
