Thurs@3 S2E11 – The unravelled nurse talks palliative care, aged care and social media

Today we chat to Juliane Samara, a specialist palliative care Nurse Practitioner who works for Canberra Health Service as part of the Community Aged Care Service run out of Clare Holland House. 

In 2019 Juliane won the National Palliative Care “Emerging Leader” Award and the ACT Nursing and Midwifery Excellence in Clinical Practice Award. 

She has written for The Guardian Australia and on Twitter she publishes under the handle – Unravelled Nurse, and early this year was one of the faces of National Palliative Care Week. 

Most importantly, in her almost 20 year career, Juliane reckons she has looked after thousands of dying people in aged care. 

Juliane will be at the Oceanic Palliative Care Conference next month in Sydney, but press play to meet her now.  

You can listen to the episode on Spotify.
