28 min - Physician associates working in palliative medicine
In this episode I spoke with the UK’s first PA in hospice medicine, Jovy Giles, about tough workplace experiences, going after your goals and getting into the heart of why palliative medicine feels like the ‘medicine we are supposed to do‘.
In the words of Prof Baroness Ilora Finlay arguing for the Health & Care Social Bill change before palliative care was finally recognised as a UK citizens’ right in March 2022: “The other truth, that everybody is born, was recognised by requiring every part of the UK to have maternity services. […] No one would advocate to have a bake sale so that a woman in obstructive labour can have caesarean section, so why turn a blind eye to ways to improve the quality of life of those with serious and life-threatening illnesses and support their families?” Baroness Prof Ilora Finley, House of Lords, 2022For more information - if you are interested in the European Certificate in Essential Palliative Care - or the FPARCP Spotlight Series: PAs in palliative Hospice Care and check out this BMJ article Supportive & Palliative Care: Carrying the torch for PAs working in UK hospicesYou can email Jovy here - [email protected]You can connect with the Physician Associate PodcastTwitter - @PApodcastUKFacebook - @PApodcastUKInstagram - @PApodcastUK31 min - Physician Associate of the year - Ben Minogue - working in plastic surgery
