@doctor_oxford @guardian @wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer Proper resourcing of palliative care services (which are over reliant on charity due to inadequate public funding) is needed whatever your view on AD. It is ESSENTIAL if we introduce AD. Hospices, community nursing, GP - vital to #EOLC but underfunded
Whstever your view on #AssistedDying , it is vital that #PalliativeCare services are improved in the UK, regardless of whether the law changes. Services to support people with life limiting conditions need to be properly funded and not reliant on goodwill and charity.

Interesting afternoon at @RCGPWales Council meeting. Good discussions about state of General Practice and what we can do to support the profession. Also some thoughtful debates about issues going to UK council. An engaged bunch of people, and well chaired by @ChristmasRowena

@DrSelvarajah In Wales, there is talk of a "community by default" approach, which sounds promising. But funding, structure and planning need to follow through on this

Ladies and Gentlemen, it *might* be my birthday soon. And I *might* have celebrated with a whisky masterclass @PenderynWhisky in Swansea. And I *might* have bought myself a couple of single malt birthday gifts... 😁 (Remember, drink responsibly!)

Been arguing this point for a long time. Risk scores developed in hospital settings do not translate well to #primarycare Yes, measure vital signs. But key element is overall assessment and interpretation by an experienced GP
Researchers have warned GPs not to use paediatric risk scores to assess sick children after showing they do not work in general practice.
