Guest: Shyla Mills
In a recent engaging "Circle of Life" event, members and representatives of our community dived into conversations on various end-of-life topics to glean key insights and lessons applicable to our present lives. One of the focal points was the exploration of pathways and services available for palliative care in the community, as well as navigating the complexities of bereavement.
We were privileged to host Shyla Mills, the CEO of Palliative Care South Australia, who shared her journey from being a nurse to delving into the world of palliative care. Shyla, in our podcast, sheds light on the diverse options and pathways individuals may want to consider in this crucial space. Delving deeper, we discussed the vital role of palliative care support and navigation services, emphasizing the profound impact of grief and bereavement that can commence even before the actual passing. The stark reality of 25% of unplanned traumatic end-of-life scenarios through accidents sparked introspection into the need for community support structures.
The conversation spurred by the podcast highlighted the notion of compassionate communities and the intrinsic benefits they offer, yet also addressed the prevailing stigma around accepting help despite an overwhelming willingness to offer support to neighbours.
Partnering with the "Different Conversation Series" team, led by Mitch Fox from Simple Healthcare Solutions and Arthur Mitsioulis from VIVA Mutual, the Circle of Life event aimed to breathe life into health topics that are often overlooked. As creators of the "Different Conversation" podcast series, Mitch and Arthur bring a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector, underlining their passion for enhancing healthcare within the community and advocating for individual roles in shaping personal health through informed choices. The podcasts promise a relaxed atmosphere where guest presenters share personal narratives and the evolution of their passion for their chosen topics, offering invaluable insights to enrich the healthcare and broader community.
Embrace this opportunity to gain profound insights into the critical aspects of healthcare that we sometimes tend to shy away from. As we strive to engage with our audience and disseminate impactful information, we encourage you to reach out with topics you'd like us to cover in upcoming episodes.
