In this season of election manifestos and incessant political commentary Matt will be having a look at how previous crises in the NHS have been navigated, and in particular how Palliative Care has continued to grow and develop in the face of everything.

Kate will be looking at a series of articles in the Nursing Times on looking after people with palliative care needs.

We will also be hearing from Liv Warnes,  from Hospice UK,  about the advocacy work taking place on behalf of Hospice and Palliative Care with the political parties in the UK up to election on July 4. With suggestions of what could be done at the local level.

Prior to the holiday season we would also like to know what topics you would like your Clinical ECHO to be covering next season.
