Info For Patients and Families

When you are diagnosed with a life limiting illness, it can be a rollercoaster of emotions for you, your family, friends and loved ones. Suddenly your weeks are filled with Doctors appointments, visits to hospitals and worrying about your condition. At Hospice, we believe that everyone should be treated with dignity and offered the care and support they deserve.

We work closely with healthcare professionals in your area including GPs, Hospital Consultants, District Nurses, Macmillan Nurses and other healthcare workers.  When you receive a diagnosis, speak to your GP to see what support is available to you.
