Next up in our Honours Projects feature: Ellie McMahon is an intensive care nurse & has just completed her BNurs(Hons) project exploring nurses’ experiences of providing end-of-life care to Māori patients and their whānau in the intensive care context. [1/7] 
Why is this important? ICUs are technocentric environments designed to support patients after life-threatening illness or major surgery. In spite of these efforts, some patients die in ICU requiring culturally-responsive, end-of-life care. [2/7]
Ellie conducted semi-structured interviews with both Māori & non-Māori ICU nurses, asking about their experiences of #EoLC for #Māori in ICU & seeking barriers and facilitators to culturally-responsive care. #NursingResearch #ICUResearch [3/7]
I'm here now tweeting from the concurrent session on The Future of Palliative Care in the Home. Chaired by @phillips_janey with our wonderful @Pall_Care_Aus Board Member @calvert_shannon #21OPCC
Here's @calvert_shannon, speaking on her lived experience of palliative care, caring for her mother, whilst also living with her own health issues. Also sporting a lovely new haircut :) #21OPCC
Throughout December I'm doing a #PalliativeCareAdvent; every day I am going to challenge #misconceptions about #PalliativeCare, #EndOfLife and living with a #LifeLimitingIllness. Some personal, some factual. Do join me!

Day 1
"#PalliativeCare is only for those who are imminently dying".
❌
Palliative care can help people throughout their illness, from point of diagnosis. It can help people live well, live longer and focus treatment/care around their wishes.

Day 2
"#PalliativeCare can only occur in the absence of life-prolonging interventions"
❌
It can be given during life-prolonging treatment or in the absence of it. It's about quality of life, symptom control, the person's wishes and preparing for the future. #PalliativeCareAdvent
