One team with a shared vision
Our philosophy of care
- To work as a team of both professional staff and trained volunteers dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest quality of compassionate care in co-operation with other agencies.
- To make available a support system following the diagnosis of a life limiting condition, to help patients live as actively and creatively as possible, aiming to enhance their quality of life.
- To integrate psychological and spiritual care for patients.
- To respect the choices and wishes made by patients and their families.
- To work to help the families and important others cope with patients' illness and in bereavement.
- To affirm life and regard death as a normal process; not seeking to hasten or to postpone death.
