13.01.2022 With enormous generosity, Harper Collins Publishing in Australia and New Zealand are making the e-book 'With the End in Mind' available for 99c (the lowest opti...on the book-selling platforms can allow) until April 12th. This is to support families, individuals and all professionals in care roles, to begin the important and tender conversations that we all need to have, regardless of our age or fitness, during the covid pandemic. Please pass this news on to friends, family and colleagues in New Zealand and Australia. If anyone would like to share their story about how the book has helped them (because I've heard hundreds of your stories - it's so astonishing and humbling - but they are not mine to share) then please do tell us below. It may help other people to take the courage to explore how we die, and why preparing in advance is so helpful. You may like to know that when my UK publisher agreed to make the e-book free for a week, it reached #1 in the Kindle chart in 36 hours! Thanks, HarperCollins Publishers UK. Sorry, South Africa and India, still waiting for HC in your areas. Likewise, still awaiting decision from Little, Brown and Company in the USA and Canada. Feel free to encourage them ;) Find the 99c download here until April 12th, ANZ friends!

07.01.2022 The pandemic is creating considerable challenges for end-of-life care across the world, with prescribers now being asked to consider drug administration by fami...ly caregivers when community nurses and doctors are not available to administer end of life drugs in a timely way. This editorial argues that it is vital to plan and provide support now if changes are going to be safe and appropriate http://ow.ly/cPsd50zol4O See more

When broadcaster Julie McCrossin was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer she was devast...ated but her next big shock was the radiation treatment itself - being bolted by the head to the table with a plastic mask. Now those masks are being transformed. See more

03.01.2022 Death, Dying, Died, Dead. Let’s all practice the D-words and in doing so honour life, near ourselves to our own mortality, save much heartache, better support each other and help to break the harmful and persistent taboos of our death-denying culture.

01.01.2022 A newly-formed choir of 300 patients, families, staff and volunteers from 18 hospices are aiming for this year’s Christmas number 1 - and to raise awareness of ...the hospice movement - with a cover of The Living Years alongside Paul Carrack, who was also lead vocalist on the original 1991 hit. The multi-generational London Hospices Choir recorded their new take on the classic track at the world famous Abbey Road Studios and shot the moving music video with patients at Clapham’s Royal Trinity Hospice, under the direction of top Hollywood film director Annabel Jankel (Super Mario Bros, Live from Abbey Road). Lead vocalist Paul Carrack said, The Living Years has been an important song for me for many years, but this is the version that means the most. Recording it with this incredibly special group of people for such a worthwhile cause has created some kind of magic. It’s a powerful and inspiring track, and I hope that everyone gets behind it this Christmas. Choir member Lillian John (94), a patient at St Joseph’s Hospice, Hackney, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer more than 9 years ago said, I have been given a new lease of life being part of the London Hospices Choir. St Joseph’s Hospice has been like a family to me, and now I feel like I am part of a huge extended family with 300 people all wanting to give something back to these wonderful places. Former MP Derek Wyatt, Chair of Trustees at Royal Trinity Hospice, who brought the choir together in honour of their 125th anniversary, said, We hope that this song will encourage families to take time to have those important conversations as they come together for Christmas. Everyone who buys the song will also be helping London’s hospices to offer the best possible care at a time when every day is precious. Music producer James Hawkins said, The idea of recording ‘The Living Years’ with this wonderful choir came to me as I was walking around the pond at Royal Trinity Hospice. The song’s message was reflected so strongly as I watched generations come together at a place of such serenity and life to share important conversations. It couldn’t be a better message for everyone to hear this Christmas. All profits from the sale of the single will be divided between the 18 hospices involved, helping them to support those reaching the end of their lives, and their families. The hospices include; Demelza Hospice Care for Children, Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice, Harlington Hospice, Haven House, Marie Curie (Hampstead), Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, North London Hospice, Pembridge Palliative Care Centre, Princess Alice Hospice, Richard House, Royal Trinity Hospice, Shooting Star Chase, St Christopher’s, Saint Francis Hospice (Romford), The Hospice of St Francis (Berkhamsted), St Joseph’s Hospice (Hackney), St Luke’s Hospice and St Raphael’s Hospice. ‘The Living Years’ by The London Hospices Choir and Paul Carrack is being released on December 16th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBLgZikvM3U
