Thurs@3 S2E10 – In conversation with a global palliative care leader, Dr Hsien Seow
Welcome to Thursdays@3 our regular series of conversations with people living and working at the end of life.
Today, a rock star of palliative care, Dr Hsien Seow!
As the Research Chair in Palliative Care and Health System Innovation at McMaster University, Canada, Hsien is focused on innovating health systems and improving quality of care.
He will be in Australia next month for the Oceanic Palliative Care Conference, his time in Sydney for 23OPCC also coincides with the release of his book ‘Hope for the best plan for the rest’. Co-authored with Dr Sammy Winemaker, the book is a guide for patients and families facing a life-changing diagnosis.
In the meantime, Hsien’s wisdom is available in his long running podcast series The Waiting Room Revolution.
Hsien’s passion is driven by his family’s deeply personal story and his mum’s end of life experience with breast cancer.
