What Now? On the threshold of life, death, and grief.
Presented by palliative and bereavement health care professionals Julie Brown, Red Keating and David Kennedy. Dying is one of the few experiences we will all share, yet little is done in our culture to prepare us for this inevitability and it's resulting bereavement and grief. Drawing on their vast knowledge and experience each episode is a conversation meant to enlighten and demystify the often difficult and emotional experiences of dying, death and bereavement. Presented in partnership with Hospice Peterborough.

S1E5 - Palliative Medicine ft. Dr. John Beamish
We have our first guest! Dr. John Beamish, long practicing palliative physician and leader in palliative medicine joins us in the studio. This episode explores many aspects of palliative medicine. Dr. Beamish explains how palliative medicine is different from other medical specialties, the role of the palliative physician and the importance of a palliative community team. The overall theme shining through is how can the palliative physician and team support people to shift our focus on how much time until death to how to spend our time until death.
