Hi everyone 

I am new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. I'm actually a health professional (outpatients for the NHS) and I just feel very despondent about my Grandad. He's 92 with a palliative kidney cancer diagnosis we got on the 23rd December. We are having difficulty in getting answers regarding his prognosis and how to access palliative support as currently he is classed as medically stable but he's very weak and has had a failed discharge already today. Even though I have some experience in this I am finding it very difficult to find answers especially as all conversations about his care plan (currently due to COVID pressures understandably scant) or what we can have at home as apparently despite his diagnosis the hospital won't do an environmental visit until he's home he's so weak though I don't think we could manage without the equipment. 
 

Any advice is appreciated
