Iβm not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.
So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
A purple and white poster containing phrases to help HCPs and/or patients and families understand why someone may need the protection of a DNR/DNACPR decision.
I maybe should have mentioned that #havetheconversation is a big interest of mineβ¦
CPR is not a treatment for #ordinarydying. Please, please sort out the protection of a DNACPR/DNR for someone whose life is coming to its end, before itβs too late.

π @theasrstein.bsky.social responds to Wes Streeting's speech #LabourConference24.
Spending and the balance of care has always flowed back to the acute sector, so it'll be a big challenge to make the shift from "hospital to community" happen.
www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/re...
www.bmj.com/content/386/... Important points here. Massive shift in public perception also required - eg carers being valued, time off work to care. Even when wishes documented itβs hard to turn them into reality particularly due to social isolation, lack of care availability.
