Otago Community Hospice's podcast series, Ending Life Well has won Bronze in the Best Interview Podcast category at NZ Podcast Awards.
Ending Life Well is a 29-episode series bringing conversations about caring for the dying to a wider audience.
It covers subjects such as selfcare, legal matters, funeral planning and whanau manaaki
(families who provide care to a kaumātua at end of life).
Denise van Aalst, clinical nurse at Otago Community Hospice says it has been a huge joy to share the holistic programme offered to hospice patients and whānau to a much wider audience via the podcast. "It's there for everybody not just those who are involved with hospice directly. People can access information about palliative care at a time and a place that suits them, and in a way that suits them."
More than 10,000 people had downloaded the podcast. You can find the Ending Life Well series in our Resources for Carers section.
