About us
St Margaret’s Hospice Care is a registered charity which has been at the heart of Somerset’s community, making each day count for over 40 years. We strive to delivery of high quality, responsive, compassionate care to patients and their families facing a life-limiting illness. Through our medical expertise, nursing skills and specialist support services, we provide physical, emotional and spiritual care to over 5,000 patients and their families each year. We put our patients at the heart of all we do; treating symptoms, controlling pain and caring for their emotional, psychological and spiritual needs. We support the whole family through a wide range of services such as intensive care in our In-patient Units, care at home, complimentary therapies and bereavement support for those who need it. We also support a wide range of support to carers, young and old. We provide care and support for families and friends for as long as they need us. We rely on over 1,200 volunteers to help deliver our care. Hospices are normally associated with cancer. We care for anyone with a life-limiting illness including motor-neurone disease, cardiac failure, renal failure, chronic respiratory disease and other life-limiting conditions. We provide our services for free. St Margaret’s is a charity – we are not part of the NHS. Our income comes from the NHS and charitable sources from our local community. It costs over £7.5m each year to deliver our care. We are dependent upon the generosity of our Somerset community.

"Even in Ian’s final moments, the hospice team treated him with dignity and warmth." After Ian passed, Rena remembers how the team gently repositioned him, speaking to him by name as if he were simply resting. “It was so personal,” Rena recalled. “It made such a difference to me to see how much they cared, even in those final moments.” 🌻 💛 Watch Rena & Ian's story below, or read by visiting https://lnkd.in/g5kMvCPW

You'll gain practical skills to manage these symptoms and learn how to recognize signs that a person may be nearing the end of life. 🔹 Communication in Palliative and End-of-Life Care: This interactive session will equip you with the confidence and strategies to handle difficult conversations with patients and their loved ones. We'll also discuss the unique challenges of caring for individuals at the end of life and how to approach these moments with compassion and clarity. Both courses are running on Wednesday, 19th March and can be booked individually or as a package. https://lnkd.in/gf4PbNA2 #PalliativeCare #EndOfLifeCare #SymptomManagement #HealthcareProfessionals #CompassionateCare #CommunicationSkills
