Damp happens when there is a buildup of moisture inside a building. Breathing in mould can damage your lungs and worsen existing lung conditions. Common spots in your home to look out for damp and mould are corners, around windows and behind furniture.

🚨 JUST IN: New research shows nearly 1 in 3 people don’t get the end of life care they need.

This is unacceptable. Dying people deserve better.

The UK government must make end of life care a priority so everyone feels cared for, comfortable and pain-free when they’re dying.

Almost one in three people in England die without the basic end-of-life care they need New Hull York Medical School research finds that around 170,000 people in England each year spend their final days without essential end-of-life support.

Almost 1 in 3 people in England die without the basic end-of-life care they need. New #HYMSresearch from @wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social in partnership with @uniofhull.bsky.social, @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, & funded by @mariecurieuk.bsky.social, warns that need will rise without urgent action:

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

We’re proud to be part of the UKRI I3 partnership with the University of Technology Sydney, strengthening global #PalliativeCare #research 🌍
