PALLIATIVE MEDICINE
Dr ELIZA BRIGGS
Dr. Eliza Briggs completed her medical degree at the University of Notre Dame Fremantle in 2009. Throughout her studies, she developed a deep passion for rural medicine and palliative care. This led her to pursue dual specialist training through the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Palliative Medicine and General & Acute Care Medicine, which she completed in 2022.
Eliza is truly dedicated to supporting patients with life-limiting illnesses, helping them to live well and prioritize their quality of life. She stands by their side, offering guidance and comfort at every stage of their journey - from understanding their diagnosis to exploring treatment options, collaborating with other healthcare professionals, advance care planning, and end-of-life care - always with a focus on preserving dignity and honouring what matters most.
Her areas of focus include pain and symptom management for cancer and chronic non-cancer conditions, as well as providing support for those with dementia, frailty, and neurological disorders. Eliza is deeply committed to ensuring emotional support for both patients and their families, recognizing the importance of compassion and understanding in their care.
On the weekends you can find Eliza doing park run or going on long hike. She loves travelling and hiking. If you see her on the mountain stop and say hi.
