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’

Always good to catch up with fellow researchers @ #EAPC2025 @donnawakefield.bsky.social @eapcvzw.bsky.social

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?

#EAPC2025 plenary - the Yin and Yan; ‘a part of us exists in the other’ - reflecting re relationship between the global north & the global south. Reminding us not to forget certain communities in our own societies @eapcvzw.bsky.social

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.

Looking forward to attending and presenting at #EAPC2025 - it’s a packed programme!

Dying for Beginners | Dr Kathryn Mannix In modern British society, death is out of sight and behind closed doors. Many of us lack direct exposure to the dying process - with all sorts of potential emotional and spiritual consequences for how we grieve our loved ones, as well as how we prepare for our own deaths. What does the dying process actually look like? A short animation by Emily Downe, and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix which guides you gently on a step by step journey through the process of dying. Acclaimed author, speaker and former palliative care physician Dr Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. The author of two Sunday Times Bestsellers – With The End in Mind and Listen, Dr Mannix is on a mission to reclaim the public’s understanding of dying.
