My (Dr Lucy Pocock) PhD focuses on the communication of poor prognosis between secondary and primary care. I am just finalising the results of a systematic review (protocol here: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/12/…) and am preparing to conduct an ethnography in secondary care.

Continuing my (Dr Lucy Pocock) PELiCam takeover, let's talk about primary palliative care... Did you know that most people in the UK die at home or in a care home? GPs provide much of this care, along with Community Nurses.

No tweeting from me (Dr Lucy Pocock) yesterday due to a busy clinical day. A significant part of my role as a GP is offering patients and their loved ones the opportunity to plan for their future care. We call this Advance Care Planning (ACP).
