  1. Whatever happens next with the campaign for the legalisation of assisted dying, perhaps the most positive thing to come out of the recent debates & legislative deliberations, is a wider recognition of the vital & positive role of palliative care.

    For both sides, I hope that while they may disagree on the legislative aspect(s), a renewed emphasis on palliative care & its expended funding (if it appears) will be seen as a good result....

    ➡️ most patients continued therapy until end-of-life with comparable risks of bleeding or clots after stopping.

    ✅ understanding helps to improve quality of life of future patients

    🥳 Kudos to Eva Kempers!
