As Hospice Care Week comes to a close, thank you.

To our staff and volunteers, who give their time, skill and compassion every day. To our supporters, whose generosity makes our care possible. And to everyone who has shared, read and talked about this year's message.

Hospice care should not be something people have to be lucky enough to access. Everyone deserves high-quality, compassionate care at the end of life, whoever they are and wherever they live.

Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day.

This year, we’re highlighting the importance of effective pain management and the difference it can make to people living with a life-limiting illness.

Pain management is about more than symptom control. It’s about helping people spend precious time with loved ones, enjoy the activities that matter most to them, and maintain their dignity, comfort and independence.

Kate Tighe, Head of Nursing – Inpatient Unit and Education at Farleigh Hospice, explains:

“Effective pain management is fundamental to helping people live as well as possible with a life-limiting illness. When pain is well managed, it can enable individuals to spend quality time with loved ones, remain engaged in the activities that matter most to them, and maintain dignity, comfort and independence.

At Farleigh Hospice, we recognise that good pain management is not simply about symptom control, but about supporting people to live fully and meaningfully throughout their illness.”

This World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we’re recognising the importance of compassionate, person-centred care that helps people live as well as possible, for as long as possible.

When someone with complex needs can't get specialist support in time, symptoms can become harder to manage, carers can feel overwhelmed, and an emergency hospital admission can follow.

Early hospice support can help prevent that crisis and helps people stay where they want to be. Most people tell us they'd prefer to be cared for at home or in a hospice rather than in an acute hospital.

Everyone should be able to access the right care, in the right place, at the right time. This should not be left to chance.

“Hospice care is about much more than a building or a bed.”

Michelle Kabia, Chief Executive at Farleigh Hospice, explains:

“It’s about having specialist professionals who understand the complexity of living with a life-limiting illness and can support the whole person, as well as the people around them.”

This kind of care helps people manage pain and difficult symptoms, supports families, and gives people the chance to focus on what matters most to them.

But access to that support is not always guaranteed.

This Hospice Care Week, we are highlighting why hospice care should be there for everyone who needs it, based on need, not circumstance.
