Our highly trained and compassionate nursing staff, led by Charge Nurse Alison Auld, work closely with the medical team and other healthcare professionals to assess and agree individualised plans of care with each patient.
In partnership with patients and their families we provide compassionate, individualised care that addresses not only the physical signs of illness but also emotional, spiritual and social needs. We assist and support patients throughout their illness and end of life continuing to comfort their loved ones into bereavement and remembrance. We are always adapting what we provide to the changing needs of individuals and communities.

Here are some questions that our nursing team often get asked about the Inpatient Unit at the Hospice
Throughout your stay we aim to keep both you and your loved ones updated on your wellbeing and plan of care. After one week in our care, we find this is the most beneficial time to discuss care and progress to date.
We require to be respectful of the wishes and confidentiality requested by each patient. We will therefore only discuss your condition and care with your permission, even if the relative is a next of kin.
Amazing people like you help us support those who need it most.
