Patient and family support service

What support can I get?

Our team of social workers, support workers, students and trained volunteers are here to work together with you on what matters most to you. We offer emotional and practical support to you and those close to you whether you are at home, in a residential or nursing home or in St Luke’s specialist unit. We are also able to explain your rights and ensure you have the information needed to make choices about your life wherever possible.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone who uses our hospice services are treated with dignity, fairness and respect. This is irrespective of their age, sex, gender identity expression or reassignment, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, religion or beliefs.

If you would like the support of our Patient and Family Support Service, please speak to your St Luke’s doctor, nurse or health care assistant and they will be happy to make a referral to our team.
