VISION
St Catherine’s aspires to a time when every individual can approach death informed, supported and free of pain; a time when the needs of the individual, and of those close to them, are met with personalised care at the end of life. 

MISSION
St Catherine’s Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialised end of life care and support to local people, their families, friends and carers.

VALUES

Our patients at the heart of what we do
Patients, their families and carers are at the heart of what we do.  We are responsive to individual needs, and a commitment to supporting choice and independence is central to the care we offer. 

Care with compassion
We care for all with compassion, ensuring respect and dignity.  We communicate with honesty and sensitivity to enable understanding and choice.  

Striving for excellence
We strive for excellence in all we do.  Our commitment to continual learning and development in the field of palliative care underpins the high quality of care and expertise for which we have a valued reputation.
 
Inclusive of patients, carers and health professionals
We are committed to working in partnership with patients and their families and carers, to shape the care we provide.   We share knowledge with other professionals and organisations to improve the services offered. 

Access
We offer patients access to St Catherine’s services with fairness, without discrimination or charge.  We identify needs, and collaborate with others to create access to the best care possible for patients and their families and carers. 

Our approach 
We aim to demonstrate a sense of shared purpose, whilst valuing individual differences and recognising individual potential. 
 
Accountable
St Catherine’s critically relies on the financial support of our local community and we aim to be open in our communications and accountable for our actions.
