What does palliative care look like?
Can we prepare for the end of our life? Is it indeed, our responsibility to prepare and let others know how we would like the end of our life to be? Today's show draws on the wisdom of 3 women who work in aged care and palliative care and can share their experience of working in an industry that is dealing with people at the most vulnerable end of their lives. Michelle Crowe, Jennifer Smith RN and Elizabeth Dolan RN expand the conversation to give us each an opportunity to take a different attitude to approaching the end of our lives. Resources
