At Nottingham University Hospitals, we recognise that for some of our patients, our role involves providing end-of-life care. This mean focusing on the last weeks, days or hours of life, it is essential that we deliver this care with compassion and competence, as we only have one opportunity to get this right.
This model of care promotes dignity, respect and compassion at the end of life. It enables us to be open about recognising dying and convey this to those indirectly caring for you and your significant others. It considers those that will be bereaved, offering memory making opportunities such as handprints, knitted hearts, blankets and teddies.
We aim to support patients to achieve their preferred place of care or death. If practically possible, we can assist to achieve dying at home or a nursing home, if hospital is not the preferred place.
