Everything End of Life.
This podcast is dedicated to talking to experts and others about all aspects of death and dying. You know, that thing we don't really want to talk about!
As a hospice carer and former psychiatric nurse as well as writer and former Theatre director, I invite guests to talk about their roles in and what to expect in the last four weeks of life. What happens to the person dying, what help is there, what to do before and after the event.
Many of the families we go in to see have one thing in common and that is that they don't know what to expect. I thought that a Podcast may help and then discovered so much to explore that is of interest to people such as alternative funerals, what do Hospices actually do, what role do religions play?
So join me for the first interview as we begin this Podcast with Clinical Nurse Specialist Becky Rix where we grasp the nettle and discuss what happens to us generally in those last four weeks.
Time to explore "Everything End of Life".

Katy Billimore on Singlepoint, a call centre like no other!
This interview is a favourite of mine. Katy Billimore from St Helena Hospice explaining the phenomena that is Singlepoint. Singlepoint is unlike any other in that you call them for help if you have an incurable illness or want to refer yourself to the Hospice.
She describes how she became a Singlepoint nurse and what her role there is.
Whilst the subject is serious, Katy is ebullient and effervescent when describing her role in helping people in the community and what a unique and amazing job she and the other nurses and Paramedics have.
