Palliative Care's 2024/25 summer playlist and reading library

Holidays are a great opportunity to catch up on things that were a challenge to squeeze in during 'normal times' - even if you are working we hope summer opens up some extra time for you and is a chance to slow down.

Catch up on our Thursdays@3 podcast series with our Spotify Summer Playlist, featuring 10 of our most listened to 2024 conversations:

  • “Palliative care and VAD sit absolutely side by side,” Andrew Denton, founder Go Gentle Australia

  • Building “a momentum for compassion” - Sir Albert Aynsley-Green

  • Delivering renal care and palliative care "just two steps ahead" at a time, Maureen O'Brien, CNC

  • “If someone tells me to stay strong one more time, I am gonna...” – Rachel Callander and her paediatric palliative care story

  • GPs and Palliative Care – “just do it”, Dr Geoff Mitchell

Or spend some time with our People of Palliative Care series, short snappy articles featuring people living and working at the end of life:

  • National treasure, Jean Kittson – angry and traumatised after the death of her parents

  • “Palliative care is not just about dying” - Grant Monks’ journey back to life

  • “Don’t be scared, just ask questions” – Tammy McGrath on providing culturally appropriate palliative care for Aboriginal people

  • “The role of a carer isn’t easy, but with the right support, it’s a role that can be fulfilled with love, strength, and dignity” — Dr John Davis on caring for his partner

  • "It was in our arms that Jean thrived," by Tanya Gotch, Jean's mum

Good content for summer that recharges your battery and fits in nicely around dips in the pool, overs in the cricket, walks with the dog, or a tea break at work.
