Our Core Values:-
To treat each individual as unique
To enable all to reach their full potential until death
Respect for Human Dignity
To confront the patient’s pain and distress whether physical, mental, social or spiritual
Care of the Poor and Vulnerable/Advocacy
To encourage openness and honesty when communicating with the patient and family members
To be committed to the development of palliative care
We take a holistic approach to our care, which means that we look after the wellbeing of the whole person, as well as their loved ones.
We provide palliative care in the Hospice and in the community as we believe that people should choose where they receive their care. It's why our work matters to us.
