HAYLEY CAMPBELL | All the Living and the Dead FRI 25 AUG - 10:30 am
Why is death so taboo?
HAYLEY CAMPBELL, fuelled by a childhood fascination with death, sought out the answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Her personal investigation into the death trade led her to grave diggers, embalmers, mass fatality investigators, and a former executioner responsible for ending 62 lives. She asks, is death is something to be feared? and why are we so afraid when we are never given the chance to look?
Hayley is joined byDr Claudia Virdun. Claudia is currently a Senior Research Fellow for the Faculty of Health at the Queensland University of Technology. She is an experienced specialist palliative care nurse interested in enabling optimal care for people with advanced serious illness. Claudia’s passion for excellence in palliative care has seen her focus on clinical care delivery, research and improvement work to inform service change. Claudia’s deep professional experience coupled with emerging research capabilities enables a holistic and practical “end to end” approach to research that is well informed by current issues from clinical and health workforce perspectives, is innovative, relevant and able to “cut through” to drive successful improvements in care delivery.
