Great to come together in July to celebrate #NIHR 'Equitable #Bereavement care for all' study - the largest, most comprehensive, qualitative healthcare study involving #ethnicallydiverse communities.

Co-led with Sabrina Bajwah & supported by our wonderful team of community researchers.

The #FirstDayBack after #AnnualLeave is always tough - so just taking a moment to reflect on the amazing holiday I had! Survived the first day and the mountains 🏔️ of emails on my return!

I don’t know if many cities where the Chinese Gate has the local football ground in the background! Loving the blend of #culture & #diversity. As @donnawakefield.bsky.social (and my mum!) would say ‘it’s canny up north’

Asking ‘are you constipated?’ is not enough - need to enquire further re straining, incomplete evacuation and hard lumpy stools. Have things changed for you since starting opioids?

Learning from #EAPC2025 - need to look up Cory Ingrams work on #carer #preparedness when transitioning from hospital ➡️ home. Could it have transferable learning for #HeadAndNeckCancer care?

Notable that #UK don’t have an updated/audited #PalliativeCare #Strategy - highlighted from the launch of the European Atlas @ #EAPC2025. Are we resting on our laurels? @eapcvzw.bsky.social

Other key learning from #EAPC2025 today. The ‘ring’ model of #personhood when thinking about #BereavementSupport.
