We are St Luke’s – Sheffield’s Hospice
At St Luke's, we look after anyone affected by a terminal illness across Sheffield, at any stage of their journey, and their loved ones too.
Specialist palliative care in Sheffield
Do you, or anyone close to you, live with a palliative condition such as cancer, COPD, Parkinson’s, dementia or MND? Whether you’re a patient, family member, friend, carer or grieving the death of a loved one, St Luke’s is here to help.
Our purpose is to give you and your loved ones the high-quality care and support you need, treating you as a unique individual. We promise to listen to your wishes and choices, tailoring our care so you can make the most of every day.
We’re here for you
We care for people aged 18 and over across Sheffield with serious, progressive illnesses that cannot be cured. Our aim is to control your symptoms, alleviate pain, and give you the best possible quality of life – while also supporting the people close to you – all free of charge. If you feel we could help you, a healthcare professional can refer you to our services.
We’re dedicated to improving end of life care
The Wilkes Institute
The Wilkes Institute at St Luke’s builds on our culture of excellence by expanding our research and training ambitions. Together, we can pave the way to improvements in palliative care for all.
