Assisted Dying - potentially "helping" people (whether they like it or not) from Friday 16 May. Sign Marie Curie's petition to fix end of life care. #AssistedDyingBill #May16Vote campaigns.mariecurie.org.uk/page/163063/...
[RECORD] 518,000 patients faced "trolley waits" of 12+ hours last year - up 25% from previous year. Corridor care being normalized while we debate funding assisted dying? Our priorities are backwards www.libdems.org.uk/press/releas... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
"Cardiac arrests in corridors blocked by trolleys, delaying CPR". Nurses report caring for 40 patients in single corridors without life-saving equipment. This is today's NHS reality www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-eve... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
39,000 patients spent >24hrs in NW England A&Es, some spent FOUR DAYS on corridor trolleys. 66.8% of nurses deliver care in corridors DAILY. Fix this before funding assisted dying! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-eve... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
Better End of Life Report: 1 in 3 people severely affected by pain in their final week. 1 in 2 visited A&E in final months. We're failing these patients. Assisted dying isn't the answer-better care is www.mariecurie.org.uk/research-and... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
SHOCKING: Only 30% of UK areas offer out-of-hours palliative care support. 27% offer NO support at night/weekends. How can we justify spending on assisted dying when basic palliative care is so patchy? csiweb.pos-pal.co.uk/csi-content/... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
CRISIS: 90% of 600,000 deaths yearly in England & Wales need palliative care, many don't receive it. Only 5% die in hospices. Why fund assisted dying when we can't even provide proper end-of-life care? cicelysaundersinternational.org/palliative-c... #AssistedDyingBill #PutPatientsFirst #May16Vote
