This #Halloween I’ve been thinking about my grandmother and great-grandmother, and the quiet wisdom of care they embodied.
Healing is not always about fixing. Sometimes it is about staying.
For all the #women who stayed.

Will AI help us, augment us, or hinder? I will be mentioning @DrDMacaskill 's book during my talk today at SPPC Conference in Edinburgh #palliativecare #FutureCarePlanning #tech
#AI will shape the future of #care. The question is whether it will deepen #dignity, rights and humanity, or diminish them. My new book explores the choices ahead. #TheHumanFutureOfCare #AI #SocialCare

On this #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty, my new blog asks about the poverties we do not measure: of relationship, belonging, time, attention and care.
Perhaps #poverty is larger than we imagine. #EndPoverty #UNPovertyDay
