Wellbeing session

Our free Living Well wellbeing sessions are for people with an illness that can’t be cured, and their carers, to help them learn how to manage their symptoms at home.

The eight-week rolling sessions are open to people living with illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic kidney disease, Parkinson’s disease and motor neurone disease and who are registered with a south Worcestershire GP.

Sessions provide patients with new skills, strategies and techniques through education, exercise, therapies and group support.

Participants will be encouraged to practice techniques to learn how to manage symptoms at home and to help gain the maximum benefit from learnings and develop confidence to continue practicing.

Wellbeing sessions are co-ordinated and run by a wide range of hospice staff with support from trained volunteers.

Sessions run on a Tuesday from 10.30am to 12pm and take place in a group setting, face-to-face at the hospice on Wildwood Drive.
