Summary

Jemma Still, CNSA CEO, has a candid conversation with palliative care nurses Holly Pitt and Kate Swetenham 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?” – using curiosity, silence, honesty and kindness to support people at their most vulnerable.
