This week's HLINks: 7 - 11 March 2022
Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 11 March 2022.
In this week’s HLINks, we highlight a new End of Life Care, Suite of Resource co-produced by Octavia and St Christopher’s Hospice. The suite shares the learning and findings from their two-year long project with staff and residents in the West London housing association schemes, Better Lives, Better Endings. If you missed the launch during this week’s HAPPI Hour, the recordings, slides and feedback are now available here.
We also published two guest blogs. The first by Jenny Katurpulis MBE on her recent book about relational care and intergenerational living. And the second by Anchor’s Chief Financial Officer, Sarah Jones. Entitled, Conversations with our families and loved ones about our housing and care needs are vital as we grow older, it features their report published last week, Fragmented UK.
In other news that caught my interest this week, included:
