Emeritus Prof Christopher May

In the last 10 years the number of people in the over-65 age group has risen by 20%, while the number of care home beds has risen by less than 3%.

The former figure is a testament to rising life expectancy & better health care, the latter figure is the context in which there is a crisis in the availability of place if care homes (driving up prices & locking many unpaid carers into care for relatives, while being kicked by the DWP).

We need a solution for everyone's sake!

“Everything about it – the language, the rhythm, the approach, the subject, the author – conspires to make a beautiful, vital, difficult, human piece of art.”

Update. "Safeguarding Research & Culture — Distributing Cultural Memory"
safeguarding-research.discours

"The destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage has happened, and therefore it can happen again. We are in the middle of that happening, whether it is caused by human action or natural causes…Safeguarding Research & Culture (#SRC) is creating an alternative #infrastructure for archiving and disseminating of cultural heritage and scientific knowledge…Together, we can ensure that our cultural, intellectual and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear. Our archive is built according to the principles of #FAIR and #CARE, based on open technologies and standards, and resilient against loss via meaningfully distributed storage…Everyone, from individuals to institutions, can participate by accessing, contributing, and supporting these archival infrastructures."

Palliative care doesn't mean a patient is at death's door. Here's why
Palliative care has an image problem. Dr. Samantha Winemaker, who has specialized in this field of medicine for 20 years, says most people incorrectly assume the practice is some kind of “Grim Reaper service.” But it's actually about living your best life, she says.
