REALLY IMPORTANT SURVEY for all those in the UK researching dying and palliative care.

The results will help shape research funding - so have your say, *especially* if you are have a social science or humanities background!

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD.

Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that.

But will they?

Or will they turn their backs on dying people?

Very important work which showcases innovative inpatient and outpatient services at Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool.

Further work is in development to understand experiences of patients accessing this vital service.
