In episode 6 "Dying Matters", Clarry Manners and CCraig DDavidson discuss three significant nursing events from this week: , and the Royal College of Nursing, voting to rejoin the International College of Nurses at their Annual General Meeting.
Next, we discuss our decision for choosing the topic “Dying Matters” and why they believe we need to be having open and frank discussions about death, palliative and end of life care.

First, they interview Dr Billy Rosa, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Nurse Practitioner. Billy works at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and is particularly passionate about LGBTQ+ rights in palliative care and valuing “chosen families” and has done much work in this field.

Next, Clare interviews Dr Kathryn Mannix, a Palliative Care Physician who is passionate about getting us all better acquainted with the idea of dying well. Kathryn is also a published Sunday Times bestselling author of “With the End in Mind”.

They then reflect on the two very emotive, emotional, but inspiring interviews. And though they understand death and dying are complex topics for many to discuss, particularly this year with what we’ve experienced through the Covid-19 pandemic, they hope it will inspire people to begin these conversations.

So, Series 2 of Retaining The Passion is back and I am so proud of this episode, particularly on International Women’s Day!

Clarry Manners and I are truly delighted to return for series two, and cannot wait to delve into many new topics with you as we journey through nursing.

In this, our first episode back, we discuss nursing families, in particular, living with a nurse, and are joined by three very special interview guests, each with unique experiences of living with a nurse.

But first, Clare and I catch up and discuss the proposed 1% NHS Agenda for Change pay increase and International Women's Day!

Next, Clare interviews Ethan Jackson, the son of critical care nurse, Kayte Powell, to chat about what it's like having a mum who is a nurse. Then I talk with Clare's husband, Stuart Manley, who shares his insight of being married to a nurse - the podcast husband meets the real-life husband! Lastly, Clare has a heart-to-heart with a fellow nurse mum, who just so happens to be my mum, Carole Davidson, who is a neonatal intensive care nurse, and registered children's and adult nurse.

Following the interviews, we reflect on the discussions and our hopes for series two...
