Sharing this after seeing a post from @drkathrynmannix on Facebook. Talking about dying or managing worsening symptoms as disease progresses needn't be weird...food for thought #EoLcare

Yes this is how we need to think. Give people quality of life towards the end. This can only be done if we have better funding in community settings and social care needs more investment.

Interesting stuff!
"A person with #frailty has a three-fold higher mortality risk compared to those who are not frail. They are twice as likely to have to attend an emergency department, will spend four times as long in hospital and visit their GP on four more occasions."

Perfect post today after weeks of feeling like I've reached stalemate with portfolio writing & submission 4pm tomorrow with about 2000 words to write. I'm not sure I've met the brief too late to change it. @actionhappiness #mscadvancedclinicalpractice #frailty #paramedic #ACP

Interesting article. I didn't choose to be child free, I just never got the opportunity..... and that's ok even if the world doesn't think so. A few examples of healthcare gender bias in there, too! #childfree
