Our nurses support people through their bad days, their better days and their final days. Day or night, they deliver individualised, compassionate care and get to know people beyond their illness.
They help make people as comfortable as possible, and encourage them to do the things that matter to them most. They share in people’s sadness, laughter, special moments and everything else in between.
They’re honest about what people are facing, but are there so they never have to face anything alone. They help families make the most of the time they have together.
This much-needed care is only possible with the support of people like you.

“The nurses were excellent. They were gentle, great communicators and so accurate with what they were saying. It gave Dad an element of control over his pain too which made such a big difference.” – Relative of someone under the care of St Catherine’s
“People’s pain can sometimes be worse at night, so responding to their symptoms and giving them hands on care is my priority. That care can be wide-ranging, from symptom management to pushing two beds together so a couple can sleep together while they’re on the ward. It’s things like that which make our care special.”
– Sue, Senior Staff Nurse
“Naturally, we also carry out nursing tasks. We administer medications including injections. We help patients sip a drink or feed them. It’s during such intimate moments that we often have our most important chats. We discover life stories, regrets, desires and fears and help people suffering from scary conditions find a way to move forward.”
– Caroline, Clinical Nurse Specialist
