Blogs & conversations Improving care for those living and dying at society’s margins
Palliative care doctor Shaun Qureshi explores how the field can rekindle its original, radical spirit by addressing the inequities faced by marginalised people who remain under-served in current practice. His Churchill Fellowship took him to the USA and Canada, where he learned from centres of care for excluded groups and saw how trauma-informed, social justice, and inclusive approaches can be embedded into everyday work. His report sets out practical recommendations for building a system where everyone can access the palliative and end-of-life care they need.
