For
with a life-limiting illness. The patient is considered to be within the last 12 months of life. There are a number of different services that sit under this pathway. They work together to provide specialist physical, psychological and spiritual care to patients and Carers.
Our county-wide services offer a united approach to providing end of life care. We ensure a seamless and supported journey for patients, service users and their Carers/families.
There is care for patients and service users in their homes through our community teams or in our hospice inpatient units. This is dependent on individual care required. We help with symptom control to improve comfort and enhance quality of life. We also help with discharge planning in complex situations involving other hospitals, hospices and primary care teams.
