We are committed to ensuring the safeguarding of our patients across our services and operate a zero tolerance policy of abuse. Read our Safeguarding Adults policy here. The End-of-life and Palliative Care (EPiC) Resource Centre provides help and guidance for our patients, their families and friends and the wider community. I have worked in care for over 18 years, starting at a nursing home which gave me the chance to learn and expand my knowledge and skills. I have worked at Griffiths and Katherine House for 6 years and from the beginning I have seen first-hand the difference that a home like this makes to the lives of the residents we care for and support.

Our community clinical nurse specialists specialise in palliative care in the community. Our hospice community services enhance the care already available in the community and not everyone needs to visit the hospice itself. Many people prefer to stay at home or in their usual place of residence during their illness and this is where our nurses can support you. Living Well servicesWe take referrals from family and friends following a bereavement. Our trained volunteer bereavement support workers will always try to meet your needs through a relationship that is built on trust. We offer a programme of support and activities designed to enhance the wellbeing of people affected by life-limiting illness. The service is run by a multi-professional team, including a nurse, healthcare assistant, chaplain, social worker, physiotherapist and lymphoedema specialist nurse. Living Well also provides carer support. Hospital support Our team of two specialist doctors and a Clinical Nurse Specialist work alongside hospital teams in the Horton General Hospital. They provide support with physical, practical and emotional matters. Bereavement support
