The Charity has announced that it is planning to increase the size of its community nursing team this year, as well as adding new roles to its patient well-being services.
Two new Clinical Nurse Specialist roles have been created to deliver care in patients’ homes across Bucks, and the charity is investing in its patient well-being services which improve patients’ quality of life.
A new Therapy Support Worker and Lymphoedema Nurse will join the team and the Occupational Therapist role is being extended to be able to support more patients.
“Clinical Nurse Specialists offer patients the time and expertise to answer their questions and reassure them about what to expect,” says Liz Monaghan, Matron at the Hospice . “They build important relationships with patients’ families so that they can trust that their loved one will be treated as an individual, with love, care and dignity, whatever care they need in future."
“We are delighted to be able to grow our services and support even more patients and their families through the toughest times. It is only with thanks to our supporters that we are able to invest in this expansion of hospice care in Buckinghamshire, which will require over an additional £250,000 of funding each year.” says Jo Turner, CEO of the charity. “We are committed to ensuring that every patient in Buckinghamshire is able to access excellent hospice care when they need it and will continue to develop our services to ensure we are meeting this goal.”
