GPs and Palliative Care – “just do it”, Dr Geoff Mitchell

Welcome to another Thursdays@3 episode!!

Our special guest today is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at last year’s National Palliative Care Awards - Dr Geoffrey Mitchell

Geoff has been a GP in the Ipswich community in Queensland for almost 40 years, and a busy academic as Emeritus Professor at the University of Queensland.

Having offered a ‘cradle to grave’ service to his community for decades, in June this year, Geoff retired.
