Nominate a Woman in End-of-Life Work

Who you are nominating

Their full name required

Role and organization

Where they work

How we can reach them

What makes them stand out required

A photograph

We do not publish anyone's photograph without asking them first, so a link is enough at this stage.

In their own words

Every question below is optional. Answer none of them and the nomination still counts. They are here because the best spotlights come from the person themselves, so if this is you, or you can ask them, these are what we would want to know.

How did you first get into this work?

What keeps you doing it?

Professional involvement

Who has mentored, inspired or encouraged you?

One piece of advice for women entering this profession

A favourite moment from the work so far

A quote that means something to you

A surprising skill or fact about you

Anything else we should know

Why we ask for specifics

The spotlights that people actually read are the ones with something concrete in them. “She is deeply compassionate” describes most of this field. “She built the first pediatric palliative programme in the state and still takes call herself” describes one person.

So if you can only give us one thing, make it a specific thing she has done.

Nominating yourself

Please do. Roughly half the people worth featuring here would never be put forward by anyone else, because the work is quiet and the people who do it are not in the habit of announcing it. Saying so is not immodest; it saves us guessing.

What we will not do

We will not publish anyone who has not agreed to it, and we will not use a photograph without asking. If you nominate someone else, we contact them before anything appears. If they would rather not, that is the end of it and we will not ask again.
