Thanks to @hospiceuk for a superb conference and to Glasgow @GlasgowCC for the hospitality.
Proud to have represented the brilliant work @PTHospice at #HUKConf22 and celebrating our responsive approach to patient need. And being mind blown by the resilience and innovation in other hospices.

What can we learn from the death of the #Queen?
The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.

As a Geriatrician and a fellow human, what an example of positive ageing & and what a way to go; at home, with family, comfortably, quickly and enjoying life up until your final days.
What a woman.

Oh @BBC -
Please use your D-words.
There is dignity in the language of death, used with compassion & kindness.
Let's give that dignity to the Queen.
Those closest to her are not resorting to euphemisms. Neither should you.
