Presenting the difficult situation @Sue_Ryder to NHS England today. So sad to have 5 Hospices without Spiritual Care specialists in place. Still not sure if @CareQualityComm will take seriously what they have done. I am presuming, sadly that @hospiceuk will also say nothing.

Will @hospiceuk say something about the number of hospices this week deciding that specialist spiritual care is no longer part of what they provide. We would value clear commitment on this vital issue. What do hospices stand for if no specialist spiritual care offered? @bbcsml

totally agree. not sure how much a hospice has to go from it roots to be called out by other hospice providers who remain committed to a holistic paradigm of care. So far @hospiceuk has been sadly silent...

@HealthChaplains Quite simply: a palliative care service can not claim to be ‘Palliative Care’ if one of the globally recognised core elements (spiritual care) in holistic/total patient care is excised

Copied to @bbcsml as little or no media interest in this - or indeed similar decision by @Sue_Ryder to remove spiritual care provision from ALL 7 hospices. Happy to explain the inequalities this brings about. Hospice care without spiritual care- what does this even mean?
