"It's really hard to give palliative care {to people experiencing homelessness} if you're not advocating for housing" - also @NaheedD #21OPCC
"The most important thing to get right is how you finance your health system" - @yates_rob on Universal Healthcare Coverage reform #21OPCC
Robert Yates of @ChathamHouse and @LSHTM comes to us from a sunny London! We are so lucky to have him chat to us about how palliative care can get a "decent crack of the whip" on universal health reforms. #21OPCC
@ChathamHouse @LSHTM "This is an opportunity for radical change. We should be prepared and get organised." But what is Universal Health Coverage? Important to nail down the definition. #21OPCC Simple definition here 👇
@ChathamHouse @LSHTM But the longer definition makes it clear that palliative care is part of the continuum. Wherever you see UHC, we must insist on palliative care not being crowded out by curative services. #21OPCC
The final session for Day 1 #21OPCC - How can #palliativecare get a 'decent crack of the whip' of Universal Health Reform? @ChathamHouse @yates_rob

Changing gears from death law to death literacy. Tweeting now from @KezNoo workshop on using the death literacy index. #21OPCC
@KezNoo From care & social networks in 2008, to Death Literacy Index today, translated into multiple languages. A fantastic journey @KezNoo & team have been on linking networks with death literacy with public health with social determinants. #21OPCC @PHPalCare
@KezNoo @PHPalCare @DeathLiteracy definition. Talks about the "death system" which is important to think about in #compassionatecommunities. The death system is where all the partners converge - funeral directors, florists, churches, schools - all those existing outside the health system #21OPCC
