In this episode of the M&M Podcast, we’re joined by Dr Grace Walpole, a palliative care specialist at Eastern Health and senior lecturer at Monash and Deakin University. We chat about her journey through medical school and specialist training, what drew her to palliative care, and how communication became such a central part of her work.
