The Dr Michael Barbato Trilogy is a powerful three-part learning series presented by Preparing the Way, in partnership with revered palliative care physician, researcher, and author Dr Michael Barbato.
Over decades of service — including roles as Medical Director of Sacred Heart Hospice and Director of Palliative Care in the ACT — Dr Barbato has helped thousands understand and navigate the mystery, physiology, and grace of dying. His insights into awareness, dreams, and responsiveness in the final moments of life have changed lives and clinical practice alike.
He is joined in conversation by Helen Callanan, founder of Preparing the Way, home of the world’s only accredited 10966NAT Certificate IV in End of Life Doula Services (presented in partnership with Essential Skills Training and Recruitment RTO 91729). Together, they bring deep humanity, practical wisdom, and a rare openness to this profound topic.
