St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth, Caring For You No Matter Where

St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth is an independent charity providing specialist advice and support to people with progressive life-limiting illnesses in Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall. We believe that everyone deserves quality end of life care, no matter where.

We work with our community, in partnership with others, to achieve dignity, comfort and choice for people affected by life-limiting illnesses through delivering and influencing exceptional care.

We need your support

Our vision is a community where no person has to die alone, in pain or distress. In order to continue our vital work, we need to raise vital funds each and every year. Without your support this would not be possible.

St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth
Why does one of the South West’s largest hospita Why does one of the South West’s largest hospitals need a hospice team?

Sadly, there will always be people being cared for at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust ( @uhp_nhs ) who need highly specialised end-of-life care, whether because of terminal illness or a something sudden but just as serious.

That’s why, seven days a week, you’ll find the onsite St Luke’s team working alongside their hospital colleagues to ensure the best quality of life for patients whose time is running short.

Managing their symptoms, relieving their pain and addressing the emotional needs of them and their loved ones, hospice care within the hospital comes with all our trademark skill, sensitivity and compassion.

It’s Nursing Support Workers' Day and we’re ce It’s Nursing Support Workers' Day and we’re celebrating all the wonderful healthcare assistants, family and support workers, receptionists, catering and maintenance staff who go above and beyond every day to support our nurses and doctors.

It’s their hard work and dedication that makes it possible for us to provide the very best hospice care for our patients and their families, in circumstances that some people would find challenging.

We thought they deserved a special pampering session as a thank-you treat, so we invited students from Plymouth’s GHQ Training to offer head, shoulder and hand massages at our Turnchapel HQ. 

The relaxing treatments were much appreciated, especially by our Urgent Care Service healthcare assistants after a busy morning visiting patients in their own homes.

The session was also a fantastic opportunity for four students from GHQ’s one-year Level 3 Massage course to gain work experience and be assessed in a real-life scenario.

Vicki Stacey, GHQ’s Centre Manager, who accompanied the students, said she heard about St Luke’s at a wellbeing event at the New Continental Hotel and learned how the health and wellbeing of our staff is always a top priority.

“It felt really good to give back to such a worthy cause and it was great for the students to learn about hospice care and the many supporting roles it takes to deliver it.”

Huge thanks @ghqtraining for giving our nursing support workers such a special gift!
