Ep 98. Malignant Spinal Cord Compression: Planning for care in the community with Majella, Angela, and Jess

When someone is nearing the end of their life, planning ahead can make all the difference. In this third St Barnabas Hospice podcast, Majella Wright, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, is joined by Dr Jess Weller, Consultant in Palliative Medicine, and Angela Wilson, Community Palliative Care Macmillan Nurse, to explore how people with malignant spinal cord compression can be supported to stay at home, if that's what matters most to them. They discuss recognising the signs, managing symptoms, and the importance of personalised care, clear conversations and advance planning. Through a real-life story, they show how the right support can help patients, families and professionals feel more confident during a crisis.   More about St Barnabas Hospice St Barnabas Hospice is a leading independent charity in Lincolnshire that provides free, high-quality, and compassionate palliative and end-of-life care.
