We are at team of specialist nurses based at the Wisdom Hospice. We offer patients, families and carers help with symptoms and problems associated with their illness. We also discuss advance care planning and your wishes for the future..
When you are referred to us,we will call you to arrange a clinic appointment or if you are housebound, a home visit. During your first appointment, we will find out your goals and what is important to you. We will review your medications, discuss any symptoms you may be having, talk to your family, friends and carers if they’re around, and make a plan for your care with you. We will also help coordinate all other services involved in your care by talking to your doctor, district nurses, and other professionals who look after you.
Depending on your needs and wishes, we can offer a range of additional support in your home such as equipment and rehabilitation to keep you mobile and assist you at home, as well as emotional support and counselling for you and/or your family and friends, or practical advice on money, benefits, or legal issues.
