Weβre thrilled to see No Barriers Here being piloted with veterans by the team at St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire π
This work is growing because of our partners & community & we believe that this is the first time NBH has been used with veterans in the UK.

Thx π @jedjerwood.bsky.social and @gemmaallen.bsky.social for genuinely changing the way so many of us approach and reflect on health inequity in palliative care @nobarriershere.bsky.social.
Lessons for life here: βWe must also be willing to share power, listen, slow down & do things differently.β
Really pleased to share this reflective editorial published today in Progress in Palliative Care

Because dignity, choice & individualised care matters for everyone
