Great to hear video genius @drjrubenstein.bsky.social chatting to @clarefuller.bsky.social about dignity therapy, using videos as intros to tricky topics, & helping colleagues to make more timely referrals.
This video is one of my faves:

Thank you.
I love the idea that the wisdom I learned from those colleagues, patients & families is still helping new doctors.
It salves (somewhat) my discomfort at telling stories for which I cannot seek permission. I hope every person whose story I've shared would be glad to know they are helping.

Honoured to be mentioned in despatches! Thanks @clarefuller.bsky.social @mancunianmedic.bsky.social
Excellent discussion abt helping patients & families understand progressing, long-term, incurable yet 'manageable' conditions, & poignant exploration of what is 'a good death' in different families.

@drkathrynmannix.bsky.social Edinburgh is famously accessible from the NE of England, & we are always delighted to welcome palliative care people across the border to our conferences. We have a great line up this year, closer & cheaper than London. www.palliativecarescotland.org.uk/content/annu...

Australian friends and followers, I'm excited to say I'll be in Sydney and Adelaide in June 2026.
Who should I meet?
Where should I visit?
Who are our people down under?

I've got a grip of much of Phy§ick, and though not much to offer on 'making Cloth,' I could perhaps be considered to have experience alongside 'Dying'...

Ah, the first readers are so important! They spot all the 'did you really mean to say that???' errors I can't see, ask fantastic questions about the contents that inspire additions and edits, and make it a far better book.
