Who do we care for?
We offer free, expert care and support for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, which includes cancer and neurological, respiratory, cardiac and renal conditions. We also support patients’ loved ones and carers.
All our services are available to people registered with a South Worcestershire GP. Our In-patient Unit cares for people across Worcestershire.
Using our expertise, we care for people by:
- supporting people, their loved ones and carers, to manage their illness and remain independent for as long as possible, giving emotional, social, practical and spiritual support
- providing dedicated, individualised palliative and end of life support helping people to control their pain and other symptoms of concern
- offering support to enable a person to live well through the course of their illness alongside other therapies that are intended to prolong life
- supporting our patients, loved ones and carers before and through bereavement
- working in collaboration with our communities to ensure we are inclusive, respect diversity and provide equitable access to meet the needs of our patients, their loved ones and carers.
- working in partnership with other health care providers and organisations
- encouraging wider understanding that death and dying is a part of life
- supporting the local community to be well informed about the care available to them
- supporting the health and social care workforce through learning and development to provide high-quality, individualised palliative and end of life care
