- Reposted by Joanna DaviesJust out - letter in @JAMAInternalMed led by @joannamdavies.bsky.social “Understanding the risks that MAiD [assisted dying] may pose to individuals living in vulnerable situations … should be a priority.”
- Reposted by Joanna DaviesVery happy that our final paper from the OPTIMAL-Care study is out in BMC Medicine! This multi-method study, brilliantly led by Matthew Allsop, examines the optimal development, implementation & evaluation of digital advance care plans (EPaCCS). bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
- We have been describing the association between area-based deprivation and place of death for 30 years but we know little about causes and moderators or how to reduce inequalities. Our new paper in SSM Pop Health investigates with some surprising results... 👇👇👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- This work with @katherinesleeman.bsky.social and @flissmurtagh.bsky.social shows how we can use routine data to understand causes and help find ways to address inequality in palliative and end of life care

- Our project on support in the workplace for staff with terminal illness has won joint runner-up for the Joanna Mugridge poster prize 🥈! Thank you #MCresearch2025 for recognising this work, and to our collaborators #CIPD #whatworkwellbeing & #mariecurie
- We reviewed support across the 24 Russel group universities to get a snapshot of provision in the HE sector. We found significant gaps and variation in support offered to staff living with terminal illness…
- Just 8 had sickness policies that mention terminal illness explicitly, and only 5 had a dedicated terminal illness policy. No policy addressed support for staff on fixed-term contracts who make up a major part of the HE workforce.

- *We could use #bigdata more effectively to deliver fairer palliative and end-of-life care* Priorities incl' using data to: 1. understand causes of inequality, 2. test what works to reduce inequality, 3. monitor service delivery.
