Brilliant piece reflecting on the role of palliative care and societal coersion by Janice Turner in the Times today #assisteddying
An important fact:
“Between 75% and 90% of home based care at the end of life is provided by unpaid carers, often family members.”
And when that’s 24 hours around the clock, that’s really hard, especially when it’s just one or two people trying to do it.

Agree
So proud of my research with #youngcarers and #youngadultcarers
