SUMMARY:Talking about death | Swinburne Webinar Series on Aging
DESCRIPTION:Talking about death is often a taboo subject\, but some cultures have managed to normalise these conversations in rituals and celebrations. As individuals\, talking about death is a poignant and confronting reminder of our mortality. How can we overcome these barriers to open and honest communication about one of the most important life events we will face? In addition\, how can we support older adults as they move closer to the end of their lives? Our ability to navigate and engage with these conversations is not only a reflection of our societal views\, but also our personal exploration of humanity. \nAbout the Presenter\nProfessor Leeroy William has been a palliative medicine specialist since 2009 and has worked in the UK\, New Zealand and Australia. He is the Head of Palliative Care at South West Healthcare and holds academic positions at Deakin and La Trobe Universities. He is involved in clinical\, educational\, research\, and leadership activities to improve our healthcare system.

SUMMARY:Pal-spectives on Research 2026 | Opioids in Palliative Care: Panacea or pain in the...
DESCRIPTION:Opioids to manage cancer pain is gold-standard therapy but opioid therapy has found much wider application in palliative care\, for pain management in non-malignant conditions and breathlessness in cancer and non-cancer conditions. Whilst they clearly work for some\, they clearly do not work as well for others\, and they can cause pretty significant side-effects for many\, which we sometimes poorly recognise. So where are things at with opioids in 2026?
