Putting comfort, health and happiness at the forefront, we’ve undergone an exciting refurbishment to repurpose our Cedar Ward so that we can meet the changing needs of our patients and their families.

Wellbeing at the heart T

he space is now home to our new Wellbeing Service which encompasses the ‘Wellbeing Hub’ and the ‘Wellbeing Unit’. The aim of our innovative new service is to support and empower people to improve their quality of life in a way defined by them. This includes giving people the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their symptoms and to improve how prepared they feel for living with the implications of a life-limiting illness.

The Wellbeing Hub provides a range of communitybased palliative rehabilitation support via courses, classes and outpatient clinics delivered both in person at the Hospice and virtually to maximise accessibility. We’ve also created a dedicated section on our website which details all upcoming classes and programmes and has a number of resources which can be accessed online from the comfort of home. The Wellbeing Unit offers short stay inpatient beds
