Led by the national charity Hospice UK, Hospice Care Week is about highlighting the compassionate care that hospices provide.

Across the UK, hospices like St Nicholas Hospice Care are there for people who need palliative and end of life care, day in, day out. Whether on our wards, in the community, or in people’s homes, our teams work tirelessly to ensure that those we support are comfortable and able to live well in the time they have left.

But hospice care is about so much more than managing pain and symptoms. It’s about the things that make life meaningful for each person and their family, helping people do what they love, even when illness makes it difficult. Whether it’s a trip to a favourite café, watching a sports match, visiting the beach, or simply enjoying time in their own garden, we strive to help people live well, wherever they choose to be.
