Happy Pride! 🌈 June marks the start of Pride month and here at Marie Curie we are passionate about end of life care for ALL.

LGBTQ+ people, like everyone else, have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and to spend their last months, weeks, and days with the people they love.

Living with a terminal illness and getting the best care and support can be challenging for everyone. We all have individual needs and will have different experiences. Being LGBTQ+ may mean that people have specific concerns or questions, which we can help to answer, about getting the care and support needed. We're here for you and your loved ones 💛

May 18th marks the beginning of Dementia Action Week.

This week is all about encouraging everyone across the UK to take action in support of people affected by dementia. The Alzheimer's Society are the champions behind this week-long campaign in an effort to raise awareness, challenge stigma and to establish and maintain a dementia-friendly society where those living with dementia can live well and feel understood and supported.
From individuals to organisations, Alzheimer's Society are encouraging people to act on dementia and aims to improve the lives of those affected by dementia. This is now more important than ever as nearly 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia.
Early diagnosis and support can greatly improve quality of life and increased understanding can help to reduce isolation and stigma. By participating in Dementia Action Week, we can help build a society that recognizes and supports those living with dementia.

Marie Curie have partnered with Alzheimer's Society in a joint funding call to transform end of life care for people living with dementia and their loved ones. Despite being the leading cause of death in the UK, dementia remains one of the most under-served areas of palliative and end of life care. Together, Alzheimer’s Society and Marie Curie are investing £1 million in pioneering research that will focus on improving end of life care.

This unique partnership supports five innovative research projects, each focused on improving how end of life care is delivered to people living with dementia — and the families, friends and carers who support them. All projects are grounded in real-world impact and shaped by the voices of people with lived experience.

If you'd like to find out more about what we're doing to close this gap in end of life care, please watch our video here:https://youtu.be/D5HHHw2_Rn0?si=IObyPenDDK3PGmbF

This Dementia Action Week, please take a moment to research and see how you can help those living with dementia. Together we will improve the lives of those living with dementia and enhance palliative care for them too💛💙

Today is International Nurses Day!

Here at Marie Curie, we owe our endless thanks and appreciation to all of our dedicated, expert nurses who care so deeply for patients and also their families.
Nurses, by definition, go above and beyond for the patients they look after and they serve each patient with compassion, kindness, understanding and empathy.
Nurses are at the very heart of healthcare, who support patients and their loved ones with patience and professionalism.
Our nurses make a huge difference every single day, even just with a smile to brighten a patient's day. They bring hope to those in our hospices that need it most and their presence alone brings reassurance and positivity.
To all of our incredible nurses; your commitment to holistic patient well-being is unparalleled, and your care knows no bounds. During this week, we honour you all; your hard work, compassion and care. We hope you know how deeply appreciated each and every one of you are and the huge positive impact you have on patients and their families.
THANK YOU 💛

Please drop a heart in the comments or even share a story of a wonderful Marie Curie nurse that has supported you 💛

Monday 11th May marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week.

The mental health charity Mind summarised this year's awareness week perfectly: 'great mental health care isn’t just clinical, it’s human'.

At Marie Curie, we know how important mental wellbeing is, for our patients, their families and our staff. Bereavement can be even more tricky to navigate when you already struggle with your mental health which is why our family support teams, support telephone line and email service are available.

Marie Curie prioritises staff wellbeing and recognises the impact of mental health on patients and their families, which is why we pride ourselves on the holistic care we offer.
Our confidential support line is available on 0800 090 2309. Lines are open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm and Saturday-Sunday 10am-4pm.
If you’d prefer to speak with our Support Line another way, or the phone line is closed, you can send us an email on [email protected]. Our friendly team aim to answer all emails within 48 working hours.

"My role is to help people by offering practical information, as well as emotional support, to anybody affected by a terminal illness or who’s bereaved. We provide a safe space to talk, and we’re that listening ear." - David, Support Line Officer.

This week we encourage people to try and have open conversations about their mental health, as well as bereavement. There is always someone who cares, you are never alone 💛
