Hospice services
Patient services
Our dedicated team support patients from the point of diagnosis right up to the end of their lives, offering specialist care, comfort, and support at a time when they need it the most.
Families, friends & carers
Our dedicated care extends to the family, friends and carers of our patients and we offer a range of services following the death of a loved one, providing wellbeing support, the opportunity to share your grief with others with similar experiences and a listening ear at a time when you may need it the most.
Health & social care professionals
Dr Kershaw’s Hospice works closely with other health care professionals to ensure we have the full picture and understanding of each patient. This enables us to provide the best possible care to each person, caring for every patient the way they choose to be cared for at the end of their lives.
Education & training
Education and training is at the forefront of our care services. We also offer our training modules to external staff to promote best practice and high-quality palliative and end-of-life care to our local colleagues.
