Thank you for Supporting St. Michael’s Hospice, Your Local Hospice Opened in 1992, St. Michael’s Hospice provides care for patients across North Hampshire with a life-limiting illness, the goal of care is to help patients achieve the best possible quality of life. The majority of St. Michael’s patients have cancer but those with other chronic life-limiting illnesses are also cared for by the Hospice. The Hospice staff work as a multi-disciplinary team to provide holistic care to patients and their families, this team includes nursing and medical staff, a therapeutic team and family and bereavement support. St. Michael’s Hospice also works closely with professionals in the Hospital, the community and the North Hampshire Palliative Care Service to ensure that patients are supported in the best possible way. All Hospice services are provided to patients across North Hampshire free of charge and include: • In-Patient care for symptom control (the main reason for referral), rehabilitation, respite and terminal care. • Day Care runs twice a week for patients living at home; offering peer support, a range of activities and access to professional advice and support. • St. Michael’s Hospice at Home Service provides practical and supportive nursing care in people’s home. • Out-Patient services, which include the Therapeutic Clinic, Complementary Therapy and Medical Consultation. ‘’St. Michael’s Hospice is delighted to be associated with Alton Victorian Cricket. At the Hospice we rely heavily on the Community of North Hampshire to support us by holding Fundraising events throughout the year, and this is a great community event which will provide entertainment for the whole family, whilst helping to raise valuable funds for St. Michael’s Hospice. The money raised at the event will be used towards the running costs of providing this specialist care. These costs currently stand at £2.6 million. We receive 30% funding from the primary care trust but this leaves £1.8 million to raise each year through its shops and fundraising activities.’’ |
