Dr. Tim Leeson joins me, Jason Cattrell, to unveil the layers of his role as the spirituality lead for St Helena. We delve into the essence of conversations in hospice settings, where the focus shifts from spirituality to heartfelt discussions about what the patient wants to talk about. He deftly explains the importance of person lead conversations that only touch on ones spiritual or / and religious questions. As he says "My team and I are not there to preach, we are there to listen and help reflect.
Our conversation transcends the confines of a typical podcast, touching on the professional dynamics of healthcare chaplaincy and the art of providing both structured and spontaneous support in palliative care. Everyone's needs are different and that is the most important thing for us all to recognise and listen to.

For those interested in what Palliative care looks like at home there is "The Last Kiss" (Not a Romance)
