As England and Wales face an escalating demand for end-of-life care, palliative care experts warn of the sector's inadequacies, highlighting a dire need for billions in additional funding to meet future needs. Amidst ongoing debates over new assisted dying laws, the Association for Palliative Medicine strongly opposes such legislation, citing underfunded services and potential risks to doctor-patient trust. With a projected 25% increase in individuals requiring palliative care by 2048, stakeholders from multiple sectors call for significant investments to ensure that the vulnerable receive the compassionate care they deserve. #healthcare #palliativecare #healthcarefunding #patientexperience #healthcareinvestment #health #care #healthcareexpertise #greybeardhealthcare https://lnkd.in/dafZfTqQ

Covid-19 washed upon countries and health systems globally like a massive shock wave. Even though it was evident that a global pandemic could break out at any time and spread much faster than the Spanish Flu in 1918, no country was prepared for what was to come. Have we learned from our mistakes, and have countries taken preventative measures to avert risk in the future? According to the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, they didn't, and human actions fuel the risk of another pandemic even further. #healthcare #humanhealth #covid19 #pandemic #globalpreparedness #riskassessment #healthcaremanagement #healthcareinnovation #healthcaretransformation #globalhealth #healthsystems #greybeardhealthcare https://lnkd.in/gd6HQTqU

Healthcare premiums have surged significantly, even as inflation in other sectors slows. The average cost of family coverage through employer insurance has risen by 7% for two consecutive years, reaching about $25,500 in 2024, adding strain on both businesses and workers. Although companies have absorbed much of the increase, workers may face indirect financial pressure through reduced wages or job cuts, and costs are projected to continue rising in 2025, driven by longer-term healthcare contracts and rising hospital costs. #healthinsurance #healthcarexoverage #inflation #employerinsurance #healthexpenditure #hospitalcost #healthcare #health #greybeardhealthcare https://lnkd.in/dWrkgA9M
