Taking time to think about what we do in end of life conversations. Listening and supporting each other to better patient care. First course of 2026. SOLAS @ Kilbryde hospice.
Our beautiful stained glass window now installed in the Sanctuary at University Hospital Hairmyres ~ with huge thanks to artist, Fiona Foley, for her artistry, skill, and obvious passion for her craft and in capturing exactly what we were looking for. We love it ❤️

Another amazing bunch of people from across health and care attending Solas today at @KilbrydeHospice. Thank you for your kindness and courage. And thank you @GraemePaco and Moira for co-facilitating. We'll be at St Andrews next month

Calling bereaved men:
will you help my colleagues to improve the support we offer to deathbed companions?
Volunteer by email at [email protected]
All bereaved voices welcome, but the researchers are especially short of responses from men.
Please share.

It is essential that the perspectives of our oldest citizens & of experienced professionals who care for them are heard by the Committee considering the Assisted Dying Bill.
Call @GeriSoc
There's no room for assumptions here. Expert witness is essential.
The BGS has written again to Chairs of the Assisted Dying Bill to ensure that the voices of older people and the healthcare professionals who care for them are heard. buff.ly/4hyR0wW

Now! @CardinalDolan this is what you should have said. But you have drifted so far away from Christianity that you don’t have it in you.
THIS is what bishops should be.

As we enter 2025, we wish our colleagues in Lanarkshire and across Scotland all the very best for the coming year. And remember, self-care is the foundation of caring for others! ❤️
A visit to Hairmyres hospital from the choir of Our Lady of Lourdes primary. It was nice to witness how much children’s voices bring to a situation. I saw smiles, some tears. It’s beginning to look like Christmas 🌲

'The issue is that (medical care) can easily morph into a harmful collective delusion where practitioners, patients, and the public act as if death is optional...'
Bravo @dr_mattmorgan @docpgb
