Celebrating our social workers 💜

This Social Work Week, we’re celebrating our incredible social workers. They support patients and families through life limiting illness, offering guidance, emotional support and practical help 🤝

Many don’t realise they also help families facing financial hardship, from navigating benefits to accessing grants and community support. Their work makes a real difference, ensuring families don’t have to face these challenges alone.

While the work of our skilled social workers is often unseen, their impact is profound. We’d like to take a moment to thank our social workers for the crucial support they bring to our patients and families every single day 💜

A very welcome visitor 🐾

Every Tuesday afternoon, patients on our Inpatient Unit will now receive a visit from a therapy dog, thanks to Pets As Therapy.

Caroline and her eight-year-old Old English Sheepdog - Marshall, will spend time with patients each week offering calm company and gentle moments of connection.

Marshall’s first visit was warmly received by both patients and staff.

We’re very grateful to Caroline, Marshall and Pets As Therapy for giving their time in this way.
