I assisted in end of life palliative care for my grandfather where i gained my love for the support work industry. This was a crucial time where i began my knowledge around in home care and supporting participants, although this was personal i learnt alot about monitoring, tracking and conveying important patient information to health care staff to help optimise treatment planning and care delivery. I was able to put my emotions aside and handle things in a respectful, compassionate yet professional manner.
