PALLIATIVE CARE SOCIETY OF THE BOW VALLEY PRESENTS:
Community Summit: Compassion & Care Compassion & Care A WEEK LONG SERIES OF INSPIRING CONVERSATIONS
Meet the Special Guests
I’d like to turn the idea of a difficult conversation on its head. Rather than wearing our armour and being guarded in conversations that really matter, let’s bring our tenderness.
DR. KATHRYN MANNIX
Dr. Mannix takes a realistic approach to conversations about dying. She is well known for her widely acclaimed books “With the End in Mind” and “Listen”. Kathryn is a retired palliative care physician and Kathryn is a retired palliative care physician and shares her wisdom and experience from more than 20 years in her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. She has delivered Ted Talks, on the subjects of “Why We Don’t Talk about Dying”, and “What Happens When we Die?” and presents lectures around the world on the subject of ordinary dying.
Dr. Mannix has travelled from her home in England to join for our Community Summit this month to have conversations with the local medical professionals and the general public. We are thrilled to have her in-person to engage in palliative care conversations and bring her thoughtful insights to our Bow Valley community.
