Dr Eleanor Farrall | 2023 recipient
Dr Eleanor Farrall is an Advanced Trainee in Palliative Care, currently working in the Palliative Care Unit at Modbury Hospital. Dr Farrall feels privileged to work in a field where she has a strong sense of vocation.
She says, “Palliative Care encapsulates many of the core values I feel are integral to good medical care. It takes a holistic, ‘whole of person’ approach. It is person-centered rather than ‘disease-centered’. Working with patients at such a critical time, achieving their goals and focusing on their quality of life, is so rewarding and an honour to be a part of.”
Before completing her post graduate medical degree at Flinders University, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology with Honours, undertaking research in a cancer biology laboratory at Flinders University. This began her keen interest in cancer biology, and medicine, but it was a formative experience as a night shift Emergency Department intern that ignited her passion for supportive care of cancer patients, and indeed patients with any advanced life-limiting diagnosis.
Dr Farrall looking forward to a career in Palliative Care, caring for these patients and supporting colleagues also involved in their care.
