Another meeting with colleagues (one of whom is new and has handled continuing care for PCTs outside our area and could not believe what some of ours do). We tried to collect up information about what all the PCTs do. In spite of the National Framework and the attempts by the Greater London SHA to coordinate practice, they all have different sytems, throwing colleagues covering different areas into confusion. In some cases, the procedures markedly disadvantage palliative care patients compared with the previous system that disappeared over a year ago; yet the law hasn’t changed. We collect comparatives to begin discussions again.

Pics of the St Christopher’s building works, in solidarity with colleagues who are working in difficult conditions, so that things can be better in the future.

From the spiritual to the corporeal (another pic of the new St C’s – the old chapel has become a staff lunch room.)
