Ep.2 - Past & Present - Palliative Care
Delves into the history of palliative care and modern-day palliative care practice.
In this episode we delve into the history of palliative care, starting with Carl Marx (with a C, not a K – so not that Karl Marx). Exploring the history of euthanasia and hospices – right up to the 1970s.
We also talk to Dr Jeena Ackroyd, a Consultant in Palliative Medicine, about her experiences and insights into her work. And we finish up with a historical case study – looking at the last days of the esteemed midwife, chloroform discoverer and President of our College James Young Simpson.
