Our Staff

This Occupational Therapy Week, 4th-10th November, Occupational Therapist Emily & Day Services Manager David tell us more about their roles.

“We know that following a diagnosis, we can’t change the outcome, but what we can do is make sure that someone’s quality of life, between now and then, is the best it can be.”

Welcoming Community Outreach Coordinator Sam to the Team

" I wouldn't miss it, it's a privilege to take part in Christmas with our patients and families."

"It feels like home, preparing, cooking, and setting up the food throughout the day for not only the patients but their families too."

When someone is diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, or someone close to you dies, it’s normal to feel a huge range of emotions. Some of which you may never have experienced before. Each person’s experience will be different, and perhaps because there’s no right or wrong way to grieve this can often mean we struggle to navigate these feelings.

We're incredibly lucky to have many members of staff and volunteers who have spent a great number of years caring for patients and guests at St Cuthbert's Hospice. Read about Rachel and Emma who have cared for patients for over 31 years between them.
