What do we mean when we talk about a good death? How can we describe the meaningful communicative work that nurses can do with dying patients and their families?

In this episode, Patricia Strachan welcomes Dr. David Wright, a registered nurse, educator, and researcher. Dr. Wright is an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, and academic lead for Palliative Care and Nursing Ethics within its Centre for Research on Health and Nursing.

Dr. Wright describes in passionate detail the many ways in which nurses help seriously ill patients and families craft stories in the liminal spaces of care that exist outside of treatments procedures. He invites and inspires us to recognize the great depth and complexity of nursing practice done well, and to name and claim the relational work that's so needed in the intimate spaces of advanced illness and end of life care.
