Description

Today on the Life and Loss podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Beverley Lee, Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Forest Holme Hospice. Opioids, particularly morphine, play a crucial role in palliative and end-of-life care, but they’re often misunderstood. 

Many people worry about addiction, tolerance, sedation, and even the fear that opioids could hasten death. Bev is here to help separate fact from fiction and reassure families and patients about the safe and compassionate use of opioids in hospice care.
