Stories from a hospice: The people I carry with me

Available for over a year

Kathryn Mannix is a pioneer in palliative care in the UK: forging a path in a medical field that didn’t exist when she qualified as a doctor in the 1980s. For decades, Kathryn has helped patients live their best lives right to the end, by treating the symptoms of life limiting illnesses. She kept diaries throughout her career, often of the people and cases that particularly affected her. And many years later, she shared those stories in the ground-breaking book, With the End in Mind: Dying, Death and Wisdom in an Age of Denial.
