We all have our stories that motivate us…

Good to share them 😊

How can we get end of life care right?

Mark Mardell joined us at our Summit to discuss what it means to have a 'good' death and why it's so difficult to talk about dying. #NTSummit

How has public engagement been going as part of the #NHS 10 Year plan development? @sallywarren.bsky.social shared her team's experiences at #NTSummit.

Thea warns us to avoid a simplistic narrative of ‘hospitals bad, community good’ that further embeds healthcare workers in their trenches and makes them feel they can’t work together well #NTSummit

Why does planned change fail so often? #NTSummit

@theasrstein.bsky.social highlights the complicated role that financial incentives and skill mix have played in efforts to change the #NHS.

Love this quote - « real delivery is about the grind, not just the grand » & it needs individual relationships, genuine expertise & hard work - from Thea’s opener at #NTSummit @theasrstein.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social

Looking forward to the next 2 days at the Nuffield Trust Summit #ntsummit Excellent line up of speakers including

3/3 How do social and structural determinants of health impact dying and grieving? How can we intervene in this space?

@donnawakefield.bsky.social

2/3 Is there a colonial legacy in palliative care and norms around a good death globally?

If so, what should we do?

@jamillahussain1.bsky.social

1/3 What does ‘choice’ mean in death/dying or palliative care? Is it an illusion for many dying in LMIC or with disadvantage in HIC ?

Should we stop using the term?

@kpettus.bsky.social

@thelancet.bsky.social featuring death and dying systems on the cover of this week’s issue recognises the urgent need for global debate.

Let’s start that now…

Our comment article poses three key questions:

@lucyselman.bsky.social @catherinewalshe.bsky.social @katherinesleeman.bsky.social

Cover of The Lancet's Jan 11, 2025 issue. Quote on cover reads: "Norms from high-income countries about what constitutes a good death have been exported and influence practice globally, often at odds with local death and dying systems."

"Choice can only be exercised when options exist that enable equitable access to comprehensive care."

On the cover, a Comment explores assisted dying, complex systems, and global equity in palliative care.
