This is confusing for people who don’t understand how end of life care can and is provided in people’s homes, many many people actually want to be at home to die and are supported to do just that, I can’t see district and community nursing currently coming into these conversations in the press

New report brings together leading thinkers to call for a greater focus on an epidemic of loneliness UCL Policy Lab and the University of Sydney Matilda Centre have brought together leading researchers and community leaders to help shape the future of approaches to loneliness and social isolation.

Today @uclpolicylab.bsky.social and the University of Sydney are launching a new report on social isolation and loneliness.

We think connection matters for us as individuals, but it also matters for building better politics.
