In this episode of Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, we have collaborated with Palliative Care Nurses Australia to talk about the real, human side of end‑of‑life cancer care. They explore what palliative care nursing really involves, how oncology and palliative teams can work together, and practical ways to respond when patients and families ask confronting questions like “Am I dying?”

We are excited to share a special episode of Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, in honour of the inaugural Cancer Nurses Day.
