I've no chance of finding the tweet where @MikeStone2_EoL shared this now, but I'm glad he did. Not only for his comments on the ReSPECT form shown here, but also for the link to an important @katemasters67 interview. Take a listen/look.

I see that
@katemasters67 BMJ article has been made 'subscription'. However - you need to read Kate's MAGNIFICENT rapid response (open access) http://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3831/rr-10 … to gain a real understanding of the 'problems' (part of it screenshot here).pic.twitter.com/M6WrtbKdaC

Good old Kate. Dignified, but strong in her message... as ever. I just can't believe she's still found herself having to engage in this same, tiring debate as recently as last year. It's called a court 'ruling' for a reason. Not sure that's sunk in.

Thanks John..it all started with the unexpected backlash to the ruling, and my curiosity as to why it’s so hard to just talk to patients about DNACPR. I’ve learned a lot, shared a lot about why. That BMJ piece seems years ago now, but is still as relevant today.

Just a matter of months, sadly. We know the medical world won't budge easily on much, but in this matter the court says they must, so the time has come to embed, not debate.

Will never forget a nurse saying to me as I left one hospital after an event ‘don’t stop doing what you’re doing’ and when I said ‘I’m any relative at the side of bed every day, what’s different?’ he said ‘because it takes us away from that and makes us think’

Changing behaviours can be hard -even harder when those concerned work in an environment where the old way still lingers. Never underestimate the difference your voice can make at such events - as that nurse amply proved.

Thank you. I’ve had cause to wonder if it’s been worth it recently so that means a lot.

It's a balancing act. Do what you can... but not at the expense of what you must.
