Reflections from the Front Line: Sarah Russell on MELC and Twitter

Sarah Russell (Director of Education and Research, Peace Hospice Care and the Hospice of St Francis) attended this month’sย Language in End-of Life-Careย event, where an audience of approximately 40ย healthcare professionals and researchers specialising in palliative and end-of-life care gathered to share their perspectives.

In a new blog post on eHospice, she reflects on this experience, as well as sharing some insight into a tweet chat with @WeNurses, whereย 128 participants came together to discussย individual experiences, symptom control, communication, recognising dying, family and patient needs, caring, and denial as a coping mechanism.
