About the podcast
‘We’re Dying to Tell You Something‘ is a brand new podcast series from St Giles Hospice in collaboration with Birmingham City University (BCU).
The podcast series has been created by our Marketing and Communications team and talented Birmingham City University media students, Maya Davis and Kyle Salmon under the guidance of Lecturer in Media Production, Meera Darji, and Editor, Dan Whitehouse.
What’s the reasons behind the podcast?
We’re Dying to Tell You Something is an important step in breaking down the stigma surrounding conversations about death and dying. By working with talented students from Birmingham City University, we’re able to share the real stories behind hospice care, the challenges we face, the incredible people who support us, and the compassionate care we provide to local families at the most difficult time of their lives.
“You get one chance to get it right. And that’s carried the way I’ve been a clinician all my life.” – Leon Ratcliffe, Director of Clinical Services
“We see the worst that life can throw at you, but the best that comes out in people in those situations.” – Elinor Eustace, Chief Executive Officer
