The Care at Home Team provides personal care and support for people who have received a life-limiting diagnosis or, are at the end-of-life. Last year, the team supported 280 patients and carried out 2,614 visits.

Enabling people with a life-limiting illness to remain in familiar and comforting surroundings is the main aim of the Community Palliative Care Team. They’ve supported 870 patients over the past year to manage complex physical and psychological needs, discuss anticipatory care planning and co-ordinate end-of-life care.

The Virtual Ward provides medical and nursing support in people’s own homes, mirroring the same level of care patients would receive in the Hospice itself. Over a 12-month period the team supported 160 patients. Working in partnership with District Nursing and Marie Curie Rapid Response teams, they are successfully delivering enhanced care and support in our local community.
