Would love to hear from anyone interested in this also - lots of my study population with #multimorbidity died in care home settings and used lots of unscheduled care at the end of life, we need to understand more about this.

I was well and truly influenced on the walk home! Lovely to meet you and chat tonight.

Thanks Simon! Our paper on unscheduled healthcare use will be out soon.
Grateful to have the chance to present this part of my PhD analysis in Helsinki at #EAPC2025

I was gutted to miss this! Have heard brilliant things - thank you for coming.

@spbowers.bsky.social - working with the third sector #PhD #multimorbidity

This is brilliant! I love the slogan and what a eye catching design 🤩

Terminal cancer patient fears she 'won't survive' fuel allowance cut Helen van Bueren, 77, from Derbyshire, who has Multiple Myeloma, is one of those who has lost her Winter Fuel Payment and said she fears she 'won't see the other side of this winter'.

On #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay Marie Curie figures show 44,000 pensioners living with terminal illness across the UK will be denied Winter Fuel Payment this year: bit.ly/4fL4ANk

I've updated the #hapc #palliativecare starter packs so now there are two. Do let me know if you want to be added (but check you aren't there first please!). Lots of great people to follow here. go.bsky.app/E8o273Y

Thanks Ethan! Nice to hear from you. It’s so tricky isn’t it? But it’s the reality of what so many people are living with. We need to be ready to embrace it. We don’t need to be expert in all of the areas, but there’s a real skill in managing & appraising multiple illnesses & disentangling it all

How could I forget?! Shout out @pccongress.bsky.social. Very exciting after yesterdays meeting - it’s all shaping up VERY nicely 😁

Dear followers,
If you can help... LIKE and REPOST.
Many thanks!
