LOROS Hospice announce plans for a £6 million expansion LOROS Hospice will be significantly developing its facilities next summer after being granted planning permission to extend its building. The two Phase project will cost an estimated £6 million. Phase 1 will, first and foremost, see the size and quality of the Hospice’s Day Therapy and Outpatients facilities being improved, which will allow more than an additional 250 patients each year to visit on a regular basis and enhance their experience. Phase 2 will be the building of a state-of-the-art Clinical Skills Training Centre, which will ensure that LOROS continues to be a leading voice and positive influence in end of life care and education. LOROS CEO John Knight said: “Like any progressive organisation LOROS needs to remain responsive to the changing needs of the community that it was established to serve. “Under the plans, we will create more space and bespoke facilities for our day therapy and lymphoedema services. “In our new clinical skills training centre we’ll pass on to health and social care professionals our expertise in end of life care, promoting excellence and improving the experience of patients, their families and carers outside of our Hospice.” It is anticipated that Phase 1 of the project will take around one year to complete with work starting by early summer. Phase 2, the new stand-alone Clinical Skills Centre, is estimated to take a further year to complete, making the total project time from now to completion, approximately 2.5 years. Funding from the project will come from two large historic legacies, the sale of Manor Croft – the previous LOROS day care building, located in the city – and a recent generous donation, as well as funds that have been carefully reserved over time for this very exciting development.
