Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking TEDxSydney talk that challenges conventional approaches to end-of-life care. Delve into the insights of Professor Ken Hillman, a world-renowned expert in managing critically ill patients, as he questions whether keeping people alive is always the best course of action. Discover how the medical system's focus on prolonging life can sometimes conflict with quality of life, especially for the elderly and frail. Learn about the "Crystal" tool developed to identify patients nearing the end of life and how it can lead to more compassionate care. Examine the long-term solutions proposed for improving the way we approach dying, particularly for older individuals. Gain a new perspective on the importance of having open discussions about death and dying, and consider how society can better support dignified and peaceful end-of-life experiences.
