We are working to transform the way we care for dying patients and their families or carers to ensure people nearing the end of their lives are treated with dignity and respect, receive compassionate care in accordance to their wishes, and in the place they choose. 

 We try hard to make sure patients receive their end of life care in the place of their choice and for some that is in hospital.  One of the biggest problems faced by patients and families in a hospital environment is just that - it is a hospital environment.  One of our aims is to improve the immediate surroundings of the patient to give the best possible experience for them, and their family, at such an emotional time.

We are fundraising for special LED sky ceiling panels to some of our side rooms.  They give the impression of being outdoors (it could be by the seaside, in a field, or just looking up to the sky).  They create a calming atmosphere and can also be accompanied by pre-recorded nature sounds.

We believe this is an important, yet simple, change to the environment, which will make such a difference to our patients experience at such an important time.
