• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Scott A. Irwin, Director of the Patient and Family Support Program at Cedars-Sinai Cancer in Los Angeles, USA, who is working to improve care for people with cancer. He combines psychiatry with palliative care to reduce suffering and improve quality of life, not just for patients, but for their families too.
• This resource also contains an interview with Scott, providing an insight into careers in palliative care psychiatry.
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Scott’s research, and tasks them to create a palliative care psychiatry awareness campaign.
