In this episode it is my pleasure and honour to talk with Dr. Naheed Dosani. Naheed is a palliative care physician and health justice activist dedicated to advancing equitable access to healthcare for people experiencing structural vulnerabilities like poverty and homelessness. Naheed’s achievements include founding the Palliative Education and Care for the Homeless (PEACH) Program at the Inner City Health Associates, serving as the Medical Director of Kensington Hospice in downtown Toronto, a Health Equity Expert Advisor at the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and as a palliative care physician at St. Michael’s Hospital at Unity Health Toronto.

We talk about early influences in Naheed’s life and career, the impact of structural vulnerability, and I learn how the PEACH programme is supporting Advance Care Planning for people experiencing homelessness.

If you are a team looking to provide better end of life care, or set up a one off or complete education programme in end of life care head to www.speakformelpa.co.uk where I provide details on how I can help you. You will also find information about my Lasting Power of Attorney consultancy and the talks I offer for organisations.
