❌ Nobody should die alone or in pain.
✅ Everyone deserves compassion, comfort and dignity at the end of their life.
Whoever forms the next governments in Scotland and Wales has an urgent responsibility to improve end of life care, so everyone gets the support they need.

We need more pharmacies with the right medicines, tools and training to support people in the last 12 months of life - so people get the care they deserve in their community 💛

📢 We’re calling on the government to make sure people can quickly access financial support when they need it most, without the stress of reassessments.
Are you with us?
We support @mariecurieuk.bsky.social’s call on the #government to ensure people living with #terminal conditions like PSP & CBD can access #financial support easier. Our recent #survey found 65% of people with PSP & CBD experience new costs they didn’t have before.
