We firmly believe in multi-disciplinary teamwork and therefore liaise closely with hospital colleagues and primary health care teams across our catchment area. We offer community care, hospital care in the Horton General Hospital, Katharine House day hospice and inpatient unit, outpatient appointments, bereavement care and lymhoedema treatment, amongst a range of other specialist services, which allow patients to be cared for according to their need. We pay special attention to spiritual, social, emotional and physical care, including symptom control. Education is a core component of our work. We therefore run a range of training courses throughout the year for internal and external professionals, in relation to palliative care and communication skills. We also offer placements of varying length for medical, nursing, and allied health professionals. You can find out more about our education programme here.
