About Hospices

  • Hospices seek to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of adults

and children with a life-limiting or terminal illness, helping them live as fully as they can for the precious time they have left

  • Hospices offer wide-ranging, personalised care which is provided by

a range of different professional staff and volunteers. As well as taking care of people's physical needs, they also look after their emotional, spiritual and social needs.

  • Hospices also support carers, family members and close friends, both

during a person's illness and during bereavement.

Hospices and BME communities

  • Evidence that people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups are

less likely to access end of life care services

  • Barriers include:

– Lower awareness of hospices among BME communities – Assumptions made by referrers e.g. families from BME communities want to deliver care – Less likely to talk about and plan for death due to cultural and religious influences e.g. God may be seen as the one to decide life and death

  • We are here today to raise awareness of our services and to understand how

we can better meet the needs of all the people we serve
