Inpatients
Our Inpatient Unit has 15 beds for patients requiring pain and symptom control, emergency respite and end of life care. Patients are referred to us by their GP or consultant and suffer from a range of illnesses, including cancer, Motor Neurone Disease and respiratory diseases. Last year, 87% of our inpatients had Cancer and 13% had non-cancer diseases.
Patients often have complex physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. Our multi-disciplinary team, including specialist consultants, qualified nurses and therapists work together and strive to address these needs, working closely with a patient's family and carers.
The average length of stay is 22 days – reflecting the complexity of conditions faced by our Medical and Clinical teams.
