“One patient hoped to make it to Christmas, sadly this wasn’t going to happen, so we brought the day forward.”
“We decorated his room, played Christmas songs, wore Santa hats, and his family joined him – their eyes filled with joy and sadness as he opened a gift from his granddaughter. Moments like this are both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and they remind us why we do what we do.”
– Kristie, a Nurse Practitioner on our Inpatient Unit
“We often see children and families facing their first Christmas without loved ones.”
“It’s such a difficult time – the people who made Christmas so magical aren’t there anymore. We try to support families through this, guiding them with care as they find their way forwards.”
– Jane, a Support Worker in our Family Support and Wellbeing team
“While many celebrate over the festive period, we know it can be a difficult time for some of our patients and their loved ones.”
“Christmas time can often be a reminder of the challenges of living with a terminal illness. Our nurses visit patients to bring comfort, compassion and care – making sure no patient experiences Christmas in pain.”
– Leia, from our Community team.
