These have been created in a project with the JLA and other partner organisations, including co-funders the ESRC and @mndassoc.bsky.social, and guided by people affected by a life limiting illness.
- Most carers of people at the end of life are significantly older, most aged over 65 years, 20% aged over 80 years - striking findings that chime with my experience of my mother caring for my father for > 2 years, aged 84+, Clare Gardiner Sheffield #MCResearch2025 www.sheffield.ac.uk/palliativere...
- Really important new data on unpaid carers from Clare Gradiner, Sheffield #MCResearch2025: between 150,000 and 180,000 people every year are providing unpaid care for someone at the end of life - around 4% of household carers in the UK @mariecurieeolc.bsky.social www.sheffield.ac.uk/palliativere...
- Always shocked by the number of people dying in poverty in the UK - 111,000 in 2023, up from 90,000 in 2019 - higher risk for working age people, women, black minorities, North East, Wales @drjulietstone.bsky.social @helenbarnard.bsky.social @mariecurieeolc.bsky.social #MCResearch2025 bit.ly/42UPfpK
