Podcasts about Palliative care

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Is the true heart of pediatrics found in the connection between practitioner and family?In this powerful episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with physician, educator, and hand-in-hand parenting advocate Dr. Pam Oatis, who brings decades of primary care and hospital experience to the forefront. Together, they explore how listening, humility, and authentic relationships transform patient outcomes far beyond medical treatments alone. From the challenges of working in high-need communities to navigating tense family moments and exploring ethics in end-of-life care, this episode delves into the artistry that makes pediatric medicine so uniquely soul-filling. If you've ever questioned whether technical skill is enough—or wondered what truly heals—this conversation will invite you to see the science of medicine through the eyes of connection and compassion. Don't miss the life-changing insights you'll carry into every patient encounter.Be sure to catch the special announcement in the Takeaways.[0:01 - 07:59] Leaning Into Pediatrics: Beginnings, Inspiration, and Learning From FamiliesUnderstand why primary care pediatrics is infinitely rewarding—not just for the broad medical knowledge it demands, but for the lifelong learning about people, relationships, and cultures it provides.Learn the importance of setting parents at ease through open-ended questions and authentic appreciation, establishing trust and safety from the very first visit.Explore how humility and willingness to learn from families reveal the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches and fuel long-term, mutually respectful relationships.Hear personal stories illustrating the deep impact of simple listening skills, such as appreciating each parent and seeing profound transformation in both relationships and care outcomes.[08:00 -16:40] The Power of Listening and Cultural Humility in Pediatric CareUncover how being attuned to parents' fears and self-doubt allows physicians to connect deeply, providing reassurance and support that transcends medical advice.Examine situations where cultural differences and past experiences inform parenting approaches, challenging providers to pause, listen, and reflect rather than judge.Appreciate how open, honest dialogue about discipline and race can lead to decades-long partnerships founded on mutual respect and understanding.Acknowledge that the wisdom and resilience of families, when honored, can lead to better outcomes than following protocols alone.[16:41 - 26:01] Human Connection: Biology, Society, and the Foundation of CareInvestigate the deep human need for connection, acknowledging our social wiring and the essential role that physical and emotional closeness play from birth through adulthood.Discover why the medical “team sport” approach leads to improved outcomes—not just for children, but for providers and families navigating medical complexity together.Identify the under-recognized burdens society places on parents and why framing parental challenges as cultural rather than personal failures empower families.Explore how respect, dignity, and honest collaboration form the backbone of effective care—and why accurate patient histories and trusting relationships matter as much as diagnostics.[26:02 - 07:59] From Touch to Teamwork: Bioethics, Palliative Care, and Listening PartnershipsLearn how physical touch is not just diagnostic, but profoundly healing, fostering trust and well-being in children and families.Understand the evolution of bioethics and palliative care as disciplines built on listening, respect, and honoring families' definitions of meaning and...

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?

When a loved one is sick and caregiving gets exhausting, it can be powerful to have someone give you permission to take a break.Should you need their permission? Of course not. But the voices in your mind can be critical and bossy and insist that you continue to work or take care of other people until you're completely exhausted, stressed and depleted.This week we discuss the power of permission when we offer it to other people and also when we offer it to ourselves.What permission can you offer this week?Delia Delia Chiaramonte, MDCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com A free guide for physicians to help reclaim your joy at work and in life https://trainings.integrativepalliative.com/pl/2148540010Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

During this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sofia Costa. Sofia is a Massage Therapist practicing in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.In this episode, Sofia outlines the framework of a pilot project that she's helped develop ,alongside the University of McMaster. The project integrates Massage Therapy as part of the primary care team in the Pediatric PalliativeCare setting.Sofia and I also discuss the field of Pediatric Palliative care and its importance.While this topic can at times be difficult to hear, Sofia does a great job explaining its importance in our healthcare system.

ในช่วงหลายปีที่ผ่านมาแนวคิด ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคอง' (palliative care) สำหรับผู้ป่วยระยะสุดท้ายได้รับความสำคัญมากขึ้นในสังคมไทย และเริ่มขยายวงกว้างทั้งในระดับบุคลากรทางการแพทย์ ครอบครัว และชุมชน การดูแลรูปแบบนี้ไม่ได้มุ่งหวังการรักษาให้หายขาด แต่เน้นไปที่การสร้างคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีที่สุดในช่วงท้ายของชีวิต . อย่างไรก็ดี นอกจากการดูแลแบบประคับประคองในมนุษย์ ยังมีอีกหนึ่งองค์ความรู้ที่เริ่มถูกให้ความสำคัญ นั่นคือ ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคองในสัตว์' ซึ่งหมายถึงการดูแลสัตว์เลี้ยงในวาระสุดท้ายของชีวิตอย่างเข้าใจ ไม่เพียงเพื่อลดความเจ็บปวดและไม่สบายทางกาย แต่ยังรวมถึงการดูแลสภาพจิตใจของสัตว์ อีกทั้งยังเป็นการเตรียมความพร้อมให้กับเจ้าของสัตว์เพื่อเผชิญหน้ากับการสูญเสียอย่างอ่อนโยน . 101 In Focus สัปดาห์นี้ ชวนสำรวจแนวคิด ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคองในสัตว์' ซึ่งยังเป็นองค์ความรู้ที่ยังอยู่ในระยะตั้งไข่ในสังคมไทย เพื่อเข้าใจว่าการดูแลสัตว์เลี้ยงในวาระสุดท้ายของชีวิตนั้นคืออะไร มีขั้นตอนและกระบวนการอย่างไร และจะช่วยให้สัตว์เลี้ยง ‘ตายดี' อย่างสงบได้อย่างไร .

Allyson with a Y. Ocean with two Ls. And zero chill when it comes to changing the face of cancer care. Dr. Allyson Ocean has been quietly—loudly—at the center of every major cancer breakthrough, nonprofit board, and science-backed gut punch you didn't know you needed to hear. In this episode, she joins me in-studio for a conversation two decades in the making. We talk twin life, genetics, mitochondrial disease, and why she skipped the Doublemint Twins commercial but still ended up as one of the most recognizable forces in oncology. We cover her nonprofit hits, from Michael's Mission to Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer to launching the American Jewish Medical Association—yes, that's a thing now. We get personal about compassion in medicine, burnout, bad food science, and microplastics in your blood. She also drops the kind of wisdom only someone with her résumé and sarcasm can. It's raw. It's real. It's the kind of conversation we should've had 20 years ago—but better late than never.RELATED LINKS:– Dr. Allyson Ocean on LinkedIn– Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer– NovoCure Leadership Page– Michael's Mission– American Jewish Medical Association– The POLG Foundation– Cancer Buddy App (Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation)– Dr. Ocean at OncLiveFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Sponsored by Invivyd, Inc.Nobody wants to hear about COVID-19 anymore. Especially not cancer patients. But if you've got a suppressed immune system thanks to chemo, radiation, stem cell transplants—or any of the other alphabet soup in your chart—then no, it's not over. It never was. While everyone else is getting sweaty at music festivals, you're still dodging a virus that could knock you flat.In this episode, Matthew Zachary and Matt Toresco say the quiet part out loud: many immunocompromised people may not even know they have options beyond vaccines. Why? Because the system doesn't bother to tell them. So we're doing it instead. We teamed up with Invivyd to help get the word out about tools other than vaccines that can help prevent COVID-19. We break down the why, the what, and the WTF of COVID-19 risk for cancer patients and why every oncologist should be talking about this.No fear-mongering. No sugarcoating. Just two guys with mics who've been through it and want to make sure you don't get blindsided. It's fast, funny, and furious—with actual facts. You've got more power than you think.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONLisa Shufro is the storyteller's storyteller. A musician turned innovation strategist, TEDMed curator, and unapologetic truth-teller, Lisa doesn't just craft narratives—she engineers constellations out of chaos. We go way back to the early TEDMed days, where she taught doctors, scientists, and technocrats how not to bore an audience to death. In this episode, we talk about how storytelling in healthcare has been weaponized, misunderstood, misused, and still holds the power to change lives—if done right. Lisa challenges the idea that storytelling should be persuasive and instead argues it should be connective. We get into AI, the myth of objectivity, musical scars, Richard Simmons, the Vegas healthcare experiment, and the real reason your startup pitch is still trash. If you've ever been told to “just tell your story,” this episode is the permission slip to do it your way. With a bow, not a violin.RELATED LINKSLisa Shufro's WebsiteLinkedInSuper Curious ArchiveEight Principles for Storytelling in InnovationStoryCorps InterviewCoursera Instructor ProfileWhatMatters ProjectFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Most of us try a few different jobs in our lives - and work in a few different places - but once Sally Hanrahan made the decision to become a nurse, that was it. And what's more, she has stayed in the same speciality, for almost 35 years.

She meets people as they are coming to terms with the end of their lives and while there is an inherent sadness to be had in that. she says it is a gift to spend time with them, to get to know them and to try and help them find whatever peace and comfort they need. Jesse spoke with Sally before her next shift at the Otago Community Hospice.

Schwerkranke in ihrer letzten Lebensphase begleiten – vom Schmerzmittel zur Seelsorge, das leistet Palliative Care. Ärztin Gaby Fuchs und ihr Team von Palliative Care am Spital Zofingen wollen ihre Patientinnen und Patienten dort abholen, wo sie Unterstützung brauchen. Zur Pflege gehört deswegen ein interdisziplinäres Team, von der Physiotherapeutin zum Seelsorger. Palliativpflege umfasst nicht nur die letzten Tage vor dem Tod, sondern den ganzen Weg dorthin, für Menschen, die unheilbar krank sind – und für die Angehörigen. Gaby Fuchs wünschte, viele würden nicht auf den letzten Moment warten, sondern früher kommen: «Es gibt von den Zielen im Leben oder von Sachen, die man noch erreichen möchte, manchmal schon früh Diskussions- und Unterstützungsbedarf.» Und bei diesen Fragen kann das Team von Gaby Fuchs helfen – beispielswiese einer Patientin zu ermöglichen, trotz Chemotherapie die Hochzeit der eigenen Tochter zu erleben. Wer Fragen zur Palliativpflege hat, kann sich an seine Hausärztin oder Hausarzt wenden, an die nächste Palliativstation oder Spitex und bei einer Tumorerkrankung an die Krebsliga Schweiz.

What does “code status” really mean — and how does it affect the care we receive at the end of life? In this episode, Dr. Matthew Tyler returns to clarify common misunderstandings about CPR, DNR, and medical interventions during serious illness and the frailty of old age. We explore when full code makes sense, when it probably doesn't, and how patients and families can make informed, values-based decisions. We also discuss Dr. Tyler's new caregiver coaching services, through which he offers personalized support when palliative care isn't available locally. I think everyone should explore these issues and have someone like Dr Tyler on their team to talk things through!⁠https://howtotrainyourdoctor.com/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/people/How-to-Train-Your-Doctor/100095193314200/?sk=reels_tab⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/howtotrainyourdoctor/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@howtotrainyourdoctor⁠

When it comes to managing serious illness or the final phase of life, surveys show that a majority of Americans say they have at least heard of hospice or palliative care but most admit they may not know a lot about either topic. We're going to talk about both to begin Wednesdays “Sound of Ideas." Later, it's an excerpt from the latest episode of "Living for We: Keep Ya Head Up."

India distinguishes itself as one of the worst places in the world to die (Lancet 2015). In rural areas, because of a severe lack of access to appropriate health care, disease often simply ravages the bodies of our precious people completely unchallenged. A host of factors preclude good quality of remaining life, and a good death. Home based palliative care in this scenario is a breath of fresh air, bringing relief, comfort and hope, thus affirming the dignity of human life grounded in Imago Dei Speaker(s): Ashita Singh Session webpage: https://www.medicalmissions.com/events/gmhc-2024/sessions/impact-of-a-replicable-model-of-palliative-care-in-underserved-rural-indian-communities

A prenatal diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare genetic disorder also known as brittle bone disease, can be devastating for expecting parents. The most severe cases are often labeled ‘lethal,' leading some families to believe there are no options for treatment.However, new research from Nemours Children's Health challenges that belief.Delaware Public Media's Kyle McKinnon caught up this week with Dr. Ricki Carroll – a Physician on the Skeletal Dysplasia and Palliative Care teams at Nemours – to learn more about the study's findings and how doctors are rethinking this rare condition.

Dr. Matthew Tyler returns to explore the layers of palliative care — what it is, what it isn't, and how it differs from hospice. We discuss everything from managing physical and existential pain to the role of family dynamics and coping skills in end-of-life care. Is pain at the end of life inevitable, and how can it be managed? What role can patients and families play in guiding medical decisions at the end of life? How can families and caregivers better cope with the complexities of serious illness? Whether you're supporting a loved one or navigating illness yourself, this conversation offers practical insight and hope. Dr. Tyler also introduces his new caregiver coaching services, designed to help families find clarity and confidence in uncertain times, especially when local palliative care is not available.https://howtotrainyourdoctor.com/https://www.facebook.com/people/How-to-Train-Your-Doctor/100095193314200/?sk=reels_tabhttps://www.instagram.com/howtotrainyourdoctor/https://www.youtube.com/@howtotrainyourdoctor

What defines quality in end-of-life care?  How are hospice organizations navigating workforce challenges?  And why has medical aid in dying become such a critical conversation?  These questions take center stage in this data-driven exploration of April's most impactful Hospice and Palliative Care news stories.In this episode of TCNtalks, Chris Comeaux and Cordt Kassner discuss the top news stories from April, focusing on hospice and palliative care.  They explore personal aspirations, data insights, the impact of spiritual care, emerging categories in news reporting, and key themes such as reimbursement and workforce challenges. The conversation also touches on mission moments, regulatory changes, technology innovations, and the evolving nature of leadership in healthcare, particularly in the context of AI and human skills. The conversation also explores the increasing demand for senior living and the legislative changes impacting hospice care, including the ban on for-profit hospices in New York and the introduction of psilocybin access in New Mexico.  Cordt closes the show with a Master's Class reviewing the National Hospice Locator, a valuable tool for finding high-quality hospice care anywhere in the country.  Join us.Guest: Cordt Kassner, PhD, Publisher of Hospice & Palliative Care Today & CEO and Founder of Hospice AnalyticsHost:  Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TeleiosTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

Dr. Marshall Gillette discusses palliative care, who can benefit from it, what it looks like in practice, and more.

Peter Selwyn, one of today's guests, has been caring for people living with HIV for over 40 years.  In that time, care of people with HIV has changed dramatically.  Initially, there was no treatment, then treatments with marginal efficacy, complex schedules, and a tremendous burden of side effects and drug-drug interactions.  The average age at death was in the 30s. Now, more people in the US die with HIV rather than from HIV.  Treatment regimens are simplified, and the anti-viral drugs are well tolerated.  People are living with HIV into advanced ages.  The average age at death is likely in the 60s.  Nearly half of people living with HIV are over age 55.  One in 10 people with newly diagnosed HIV is an older adult.  Our second guest, Meredith Greene, is a geriatrician and researcher who focuses on care of older adults living with HIV, in the US and Africa. On today's podcast we discuss: Implications of aging with HIV for clinical care Loneliness and social isolation among older adults living with HIV Persistence of stigma Need to consider HIV in the differential diagnosis for older adults Screening for HIV Screening for osteoporosis in people living with HIV Dementia and cognitive impairment risk in people living with HIV When to stop anti-virals near the end of life Toward the end we speak to the moment.  More older adults live with HIV in SubSaharan Africa and the global South than anywhere else in the world.  Funding for research and clinical care is at risk, as USAID and PEPFAR (which is under USAID), are shuttered.  Millions of lives are at stake.  Meredith wore a shirt that said Silence=death.

A new survey has found that less than one third of end-of-life patients in Irish emergency departments have their own room. This is only one of the shortcomings found in end-of-life care, explored in two papers to start this episode. Following on from that is a comparison of video and direct laryngosocopy for intubation outcomes. There's also a "Best Evidence" review of the use of nasal clips for stopping nosebleeds, an approach which appears likely to offer advantages over the hands or inventive tongue-depressor contraptions. The finish up this month's episode, there's a return to a topic previously visited one year ago - the RCEM guidelines on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. A study from Wales follows up on the adherence to this guidance. Read the highlights: May 2025 Primary Survey Dying matters in the emergency department Emergency clinician perceptions of end-of-life care in Irish emergency departments: a cross-sectional survey Video laryngoscopy may improve the intubation outcomes in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials Use of nasal clips as first aid for anterior epistaxis Awareness and management of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome among staff in emergency departments in Wales The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Dr. Richard Body, EMJ Deputy Editor, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Semior Associate Editor and Social Media Editor, Royal Derby Hospital, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.

It's late at night. You're in a hospital room, holding the hand of a loved one just diagnosed with a serious illness. The doctor has explained the treatment options. However, the weight of the diagnosis still feels overwhelming. You ask yourself: How do we make the most of the time we have? How do we ensure they're comfortable, supported, and able to live well—despite what lies ahead? This is where palliative care plays a vital role. It's a medical specialty focused on improving quality of life for patients and families during some of life's most difficult moments. In fact, few people understand this better than Dr. Steven Pantilat. He's a pioneer in the field and one of the nation's most trusted voices in redefining care for serious illness. As the Chief of the Division of Palliative Medicine at UCSF, Steve has spent decades pushing for patient-centered care. He began during the AIDS crisis in San Francisco, where he saw firsthand how much compassion matters—especially when a cure is out of reach. As a result, those early experiences shaped his mission: to place dignity and empathy at the heart of healthcare. Therefore, in this episode, Steve walks us through that journey—from early crisis care to becoming a national leader. We explore the major challenges he's faced, the lessons he's learned, and his bold vision for the future: a healthcare system where palliative care is standard for everyone facing serious illness. Moreover, his story reminds us that healthcare is not just about curing disease—it's about caring for people. Do you have thoughts on this episode or ideas for future guests?

Palliative care, or treatment focused on symptom management and quality of life, is an important and often overlooked aspect of care for people with kidney disease. Similarly, conservative treatment of advanced kidney disease, or medical management without dialysis or transplantation, is not well understood by patients and care providers alike. In this episode of the Kidney Commute, our interprofessional team discusses these two important aspects of kidney disease care. This episode offers CME/CE credit to eligible listeners.
