Putting patients and carers at the heart of everything we do

St. Gemma’s Hospice’s staff and volunteers are committed to respecting all patients, carers and visitors as well as one another. Central to our philosophy is the care of every patient as an individual. Patients and their carers are treated with dig- nity and their wishes are respected. Our aim is to create a welcoming environment where hospitality and compassion are the hallmarks of care, which is of the highest professional standard.

Throughout the organisation, patients and their families and friends are at the heart of everything we do.The multi-professional teams strive to meet the physical, emotional and social needs of each patient, their families and carers by working in partnership with them. Our spiritual care team respects and responds to the culture, faith and belief of each person.The fundraisers generate the much needed funds required to enable us to continue providing this vital specialist service, free of charge to all.

Every department within the Hospice works together to provide the best combination of serv- ices to care for the needs of each patient as an individual, as well as their families, friends and visitors. In this edition of the Newsletter, we highlight the work of our Hospitality department. Angela Perkins, Head of Hospitality, talks about how our Hospitality service to patients and visitors has evolved…
