Patient and Family Services

Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust has a professional Patient and Family Services Team consisting of qualified and experienced social workers, counsellors, complementary therapists and senior administrator/­co-ordinator.

Hospice care extends beyond the treatment of physical symptoms and considers the emotional and social needs of patients, families, their friends and carers. We are helped to deliver this service by a team of skilled and trained volunteers.

Our approach is person-centred, with each person being supported individually depending upon their needs.

Who do we help?

We can help anyone who is connected to a patient to include:

  • Patients
  • Family members
  • Carers
  • Children and young people
  • Close friends

What we offer?

Our teams help with:

  • Emotional issues
  • Practical matters
  • Carer support
  • Planning for the future
  • Stress
  • Money worries and legal issues
  • Fear
  • Grief and loss
  • Religious or spiritual questions
  • Family Matters
  • Social activities

 

How do we help?

  • We provide a safe, confidential space, enabling you to have opportunities to talk freely about your feelings and how you are coping.
  • We recognise that at times it can be helpful to discuss concerns with someone not too emotionally or personally close to you.
  • Our Team can help patients, families and their children or grandchildren together during an illness and afterwards.
  • An opportunity for carers to talk over how they are managing, and be put in touch with additional help and resources if available.

 

Support is available:

  • On an individual basis
  • With your family or loved ones
  • Support groups

You can speak directly to a member of the Patient and Family Services team, or you can ask a family member, a friend, or a health care professional to contact the team on your behalf.
