Social work & counselling

When patients and their families are living with a serious illness, every aspect of life can be affected.

Not only are there physical and medical aspects of the illness to cope with but also the impact on the future, family and working life, leisure and social activities, finances and financial security.

Feeling, beliefs homes and aims in life can feel turned upside down.

All members of the hospice team give a certain level of psychological, emotional and practical support. However, the professionals who can offer additional help are the hospice social workers and counsellors.
