The philosophy of St. Clare’s Hospice is to provide high quality Specialist Palliative Care which encompasses the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of our patients in all life limiting conditions.    

We will strive to advance our expertise and knowledge in advanced pain and symptom control through means of education and training to ensure delivery of a high standard of Palliative Care.  

We will treat all our patients as individuals, respecting their values and beliefs in health and illness. Each patient will be respected and treated equally in their care regardless of culture, race, religion, or social background.  
Our patients will be encouraged wherever possible to participate in their care planning, setting of achievable goals, implementation of care and evaluation of its effectiveness.
Practical and emotional advice and support will be provided to the carer, their family and friends. Their carer will be able to participate in their loved ones care if this is mutually acceptable.
