St John’s Hospice – Events and Fund Raising for 2016
St. John’s Hospice has been treating patients with life-limiting illnesses from across North-West and Central London for over 30 years. Located within the Hospital of St. John & St. Elizabeth in St. John’s Wood, the Hospice itself is not private and relies on donations, grants and community support to continue providing free care for over 3000 people and their families each year. Healthcare professionals in our 19 bed Inpatient Unit, our Day Services Centre and in the community nursing team provide a range of services including respite care, symptom and pain management and ongoing bereavement support. We treat adult patients of all ages and with a range of life-changing diagnoses including cancer, MS and motor neurone disease. Above all, we are underpinned by a respect for human dignity and care for the physical, psychosocial, spiritual and emotional needs of every patient, whatever their circumstance, culture and spiritual belief.
