Wonderful to see this @BBCNews article about the Grief Centre on @BBCBristol. It features 2 brilliant @goodgrieffest collaborators, Kat Lyons & Helen Acklam, who share their experiences of grief & how they turned to creativity to understand & process them: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
New paper now online @BioMedCentral led by Robert Kimmitt link.springer.com/article/10.118…
Thanks to everyone who came to the launch of the Bristol Centre for Grief Research & Engagement. It was great to celebrate the new centre with colleagues, friends & collaborators. Together we hope to change the way that grief is seen, spoken about & understood
Grief and death affect us all & yet we often struggle to talk about them. The anxieties can be greater for people with learning disabilities & their families, friends & carers. Check out our blog, resource list & webinar here: goodgrieffest.com/journal/grief-…
🚨 Hospice UK has today launched a landmark report calling for urgent action to improve access to palliative and end of life care in remote, rural and island communities across the UK. With a foreword by @CMO_England, it sets out what must change. hospiceuk.org/latest-from-ho…
'Data for the head, Stories for the heart.' The @NCMD_England is collecting stories from families whose child died, for a report recommending service improvements. Stories show what children/families found challenging & what was helpful. Neve's mum @EmilyTammam with info ⬇️
Next month, we will publish a report on children with life-limiting conditions and palliative and end of life care needs. Are you a bereaved parent or family member? Would you like to share your story with us? Here's more info: ncmd.info/uncategorised/… @EmilyTammam @Tog4ShortLives

🌟 Paper of the week! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40379276/ Progress in bringing palliative care to more people around the world has been far too slow and inequitable over the last decade, despite growing need and evidence to support its benefits.
