The journey begins much earlier, I'm visiting Canada listening to palliative care and others in the system discuss track 1, track 2 and prepare for track 3 - this is where we will be in ten years or sooner, not within the confines of the current bill - we simply aren't ready as a system!

Dr Jed Jerwood (PhD) @jedjerwood.bsky.social · Jun 20

Agree! And mental health services, and gender-affirming care, and primary care, social care....every bit of the health system must be robust, compassionate and able to have nuanced, holistic assessment and discussion before we can begin to support assisted dying properly

Call it what it is. Don’t like “woke”? That’s probably racism

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

Thx 🙏 @jedjerwood.bsky.social and @gemmaallen.bsky.social for genuinely changing the way so many of us approach and reflect on health inequity in palliative care @nobarriershere.bsky.social.
Lessons for life here: “We must also be willing to share power, listen, slow down & do things differently.”

Gemma Allen (she/her) @gemmaallen.bsky.social · May 28

If we are brave enough to ask people about themselves and what and who is important to them, what they find difficult, what they are fearful of and what they need, we may have a chance to really improve the experiences of the people we care for.”

A vital read in @theguardian.com by @jamillahussain1.bsky.social on how the Assisted Dying Bill could impact minoritised communities.

An important perspective that must not be overlooked.
