We provide palliative care - the specialist care of people who have advanced and progressive illnesses for which there are no cures.
Our purpose is to improve the quality of life for local people, like you, with these types of physical conditions. We want you to live as normally as possible, for as long as possible. We’ll help you to do this by providing you, your family and carers with high-quality care and support, compassion and respect.
Our special expertise
Our expertise comes from a high level of professional training and many years’ experience of providing palliative care. Our standing is recognised by other health professionals in the wider community. This results in local hospitals, GPs and district nurses seeking our advice, daily, about their own patients who have palliative care needs.
What we aim to do for you
Peace of mind, contentment and relief from pain and other symptoms are central to everything we try to do for our patients, regardless of their personal circumstances. In this, we are guided by the desire to treat everyone fairly, equally and honestly. We believe that communicating constantly, clearly and sensitively is the key to mutual understanding and acceptance.
St Luke’s works constantly with the NHS, local care homes and council departments to further develop exactly the range of care and support services that all people with life-threatening illnesses need and deserve.
