World Hospice and Palliative Care Day
Most, if not all, of us will know people who have been in a Hospice, or have received palliative care at home. Some may also know people who work in this sector of care – either as volunteers or as trained professionals. By its nature it is an area that impacts on emotions and requires great sensitivity in relating to patients and their families/ friends. Today is a day to express our appreciation for all the kindness, sensitivity and humanity shown by staff and volunteers as they seek to combine preserving dignity alongside person-focussed care
