During National Palliative Care Week, Kinnie and Susan from #TPCH Palliative Care service are encouraging people to start important conversations about the benefits of quality palliative care to help people with life-limiting illnesses to live as well and for as long as possible.
A heartfelt thanks to #TPCH dedicated Palliative Care team whose care and compassion make such a difference to our patients and families during very difficult times. Palliative Care - It’s more than you think.
Thank you Palliative Care team for all you do in caring for our patients and their families - you are amazing!
I also want to say what a wonderful team you all are at Pallative care for not only looking after my mum in her last days but also for looking after us as a family. You were all very caring and can’t thank you enough
A fantastic team. My family had to say goodbye to my Grandma last year and the palliative care team did a wonderful job of caring for her and all of us, helping to make a difficult time a bit better.
You are an amazing team with a real gift for caring. You show real love and compassion to the patients and family. Thank you so much.
Amazing team whose care and skills my friends and family have expert first hand
Looking and doing good ladies - thank you!
Best team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. 😁😍
Amazing care for end of life at PCU TPCH
❤️❤️
Susan 🥰😘
Oddly enough, I wasn't allowed to experience any of that care in January this year when my husband was a patient. In fact, I was left to go through it all on my own, no input from, or care shown by staff except for one small situation where I was given a pair of scissors to replace my craft scissors that had just broken. Thankfully, I had some friends and family who did what they could for me while we all had to spend a week sitting by while my husband passed away.
