Useful resources for those who are caring for someone during the coronavirus pandemic.

Our Clinical Team is available to answer any questions you might have and local carer organisations are also able to offer support and advice.

Providing short-term relief for primary care-givers, respite care can help you take some time out for yourself.

Caring for someone who has a life limiting illness can leave you feeling isolated and stressed or suffering health problems of your own. Whether you are a patient or carer, our team of counsellors and support visitors are here to support you.

Money can be a worry when you’re caring for someone who has a life limiting illness, especially if you are unable to work or have had to reduce your hours. Our Welfare Advisor can give advice about a range of financial and practical issues.

Open to our patients and carers, our new volunteer-led wellbeing sessions have been designed to provide online support while we are not able to reopen our Living Well Centre.

When people close to you become ill, this can raise questions and fears of a spiritual nature; perhaps challenging your sense of meaning, purpose and value, or your priorities and beliefs. Our Spiritual Care Team is available to help and listen.
