Today’s Special Topics Talk will connect to our temporary exhibition, In Focus: Dame Cicely Saunders. It will provide an in-depth view into the life of Cicely Saunders, a Nightingale-Nurse turned Doctor and the founder of the modern hospice movement. The talk will serve as a brief introduction to palliative care and how it has evolved over time.

Like Florence Nightingale, Dame Cicely Saunders was a woman of wit and brains and this talk will cover the upbeat humanity of this story along with the seriousness of this important topic.

When: Friday 13th February @ 2:30pm

All Special Topics Talks are included in General Admission.

Please note: This talks contains references to end-of-life care and terminal illness. We appreciate that this is a sensitive topic and want visitors to take care of themselves.
