Former nurse Teresa Plane is recognised as a pioneer of modern palliative care in Australia. Having studied palliative care models of care around the globe, Teresa opened a hospice and palliative care unit at Mt Carmel Hospital in Western Sydney in 1978. She also launched a home care program, supported by a charity she’d established to advocate on behalf of the dying. She also has a long history of sharing her knowledge through international forums, universities, and national conferences. Teresa continues advocating and volunteering as she approaches 90 years, and in this conversation reflects on what she has learnt about life and death along the way. You are in the presence of greatness as you click play; prepare to go on a journey.
