We offer traditional day hospice sessions for patients who may need additional support. This is referral-only and is a 12 week programme of support and education. On your initial visit the Wellbeing Hub team will discuss whether this is appropriate for your needs.

Day therapy offers a range of benefits to patients:

• A period of assessment and therapy provided by the hospice team, which includes giving carers at home some time to themselves.
• The opportunity to meet other people, get to know the hospice team and ask advice.
• Fresh approaches to care and support, for example through complementary therapies.
• An opportunity for patients to talk about their illness and how it is affecting them and their families.
• Weekly nursing review and monitoring of ongoing symptoms
• We undertake a full medical and nursing assessment and patients are encouraged to participate in planning their care with the nurses.
