Like many others, I feel very strongly about this.

@ilovepathology.bsky.social, chair of NCEPOD, expresses appropriate concerns about how we miss far too often the opportunities to discuss end of life care.

END-OF-LIFE CARE: Hospitals miss opportunities to discuss people's wishes, report finds NHS hospitals are missing opportunities to record people's wishes for care at the end of life, according to the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD), which highlighted the importance of "normalising conversations" about death and dying. Its report found too few patients had access to early palliative care, which can improve patients' quality of life and ultimately make a "good death" more likely. NCEPOD reviewed sample data on the quality of care provided to adults with a diagnosis of dementia, heart failure, lung cancer, or liver disease who died in hospital between 1 April 2022 and 30 September 2022 in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It found that 72.5% of patients did not have their preferences for care at the end of their life recorded. Suzy Lishman (below), NCEPOD chair, said, "Almost a third of people admitted to hospital as an emergency are in their last year of life, and most have recent hospital contact offering multiple opportunities to discuss wishes, prognosis, symptom control, and end-of-life care.

That discomfort is part of the problem. Public lack of understanding of dying underlies those tensions. We're asking clinicians to bridge a huge gap in understanding at an emotional time for those families.
Understanding needs to start far earlier, so we're all ready for those #TenderConversations
