  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....

  2. CW: Running for charity

    I've been a runner for 7 years! My next challenge is running the Cheltenham Half Marathon in September for Sue Ryder - the first time I've run a race in my home town since school sports day!

  3. In the space of about 12 hours today, I read two achingly beautiful, heartbreaking accounts about the loss of a young child from two different physicians.

    I encourage all to read both pieces:
    1) Losing Ceci by Dr. Ethan Sanford
    jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/
    and
    2) As a Doctor, I thought...Until [death] came for my son by Dr. Bonnie Chen
