You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.
Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern Hospice movement 1918 – 2005
It is Hospice Awareness week - a time when we focus on sharing knowledge on Hospice services. We all share the same goal - to ensure our loved ones receive the palliative care they need, when they need it.
Did you know that last year 19,000 people and their family were supported by Hospice?
