We all have a unique expression of spirituality in our lives. Each one of us regardless of personal faith, are connected to certain people or places, activities or beliefs that bring meaning to our world and joy into our lives. These connections act as anchors in times of turmoil and bring hope in our suffering. Our spirituality is the anchor especially in ill-health and personal challenge. For Dr Jonathan Ramachenderan, solving problems and relieving unnecessary suffering has been his north star and touchstone throughout his career, leading him to develop skills in pain medicine and anaesthesia, and to specialise in palliative medicine in his work as a General Practitioner.
Jonathan has worked in the Great Southern for 11 years, at the Great Southern Palliative Service at Albany Health Campus and on the Albany Community Hospice board.
In addition to clinical work, Jonathan loves to write as a reflective exercise in self-care from the stresses of medical work. He has published both academic and thought pieces on self-care, spirituality, pain medicine and palliative care.
In 2021, Jonathan won a national Palliative Care award recognising his clinical work and contribution to advocating the importance of self-care. Jonathan is deeply interested in the spiritual dimension of medicine and how this can be integrated to provide whole-person care. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Wonderful, thank you ❤️
It was an amazing discussion delving into how spirituality intertwines with the care of patients facing end-of-life.
This talk is special because it's not something we often discuss in medical history.
A big salute to Dr. Jonathan for leading this conversation. 🫡
What a great talk Dr Jonathan Ramachenderan
@drjonathanrama
It's rare to hear a Medical Doctor talk this openly about Spirituality, let alone be working so hard to integrate Spirituality into Patient Care.
There needs to be much more of it.
Thanks for being one of those very rare people who dedicate there lives to helping others.
