Data likely underestimates contributions – standardised data is key for service configuration and high-quality care at home. #EAPC202619 May 2026 09:26 +0000at://did:plc:rxu5bbkw3p4kf6bbn5oap7ff/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm734hc3bs2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social/post/3mlxglnp3ak23Implementation of self-management programmes for breathlessness depends on • Individuals' • personal resources • Stressors • Other people's views, Interactions with the person with breathlessness • Healthcare organisations' priorities • Societal context and norms @annhutchinson.bsky.social #EAPC202616 May 2026 08:30 +0000at://did:plc:rxu5bbkw3p4kf6bbn5oap7ff/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlxglnp3ak23https://bsky.app/profile/wolfsonpallcare.bsky.social/post/3mluxq5x57c2vThese study findings amongst an under-researched group suggest an openness to earlier ACP. Future research should explore how best to incorporate advance care planning into personalised long-term condition management and non-medical contexts.

This matters because understanding how social determinants shape recorded decisions is essential to ensure equitable, person-centred end-of-life care.

In contrast, patients in the most deprived areas were less likely to improve in breathlessness, highlighting a "health gap" in specialist palliative care.
