Carer support
If you are a carer, relative, or friend of a patient, you can contact the Patient & Family Support team to receive advice, support or therapies.
Our team provides advice and bereavement support to professionals from schools, as well as for families. We also provide parenting strategies (i.e. support to bereaved parents to adjust to their new role as a single parent).
We work with the local Social Services departments and the NHS to ensure that anyone who requires support is able to access it. This could be care in your own home or, if you can no longer manage, a nursing home.
For more information on how our team helps patients, carers and their families, please contact pafs@pth.org.uk
It is sometimes difficult to know which way to turn or what to do following the diagnosis of a serious illness. Our patient and family advisors are able to offer their time and expertise with advice and support to both patients and their carers to access financial, practical and legal matters.
We hope to take the stress and tedium out of form filling and chasing people at a time when you would rather be with your loved ones.
For more information on the areas where we can help you, please read our Because you're important too leaflet, or contact the Patient and Family Support team on 01252 729430 or email pafs@pth.org.uk

Whether you're a patient of Phyllis Tuckwell or a carer or relative, talking to a counsellor or clinical psychologist could help make sense of any worries you may have.
All of our staff and volunteers are involved in the pastoral care of our patients, relatives and carers, but there is also a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, led by Jill Thornton, whose specific role it is to support our pastoral care ethos.
All our services are free, but this is only possible due to the generosity of our amazing community. The Government/NHS only provide 25% of our costs, so we need to raise over £25,000 every day to provide our vital services.
Please donate what you can to help keep hospice care available to all those in our community who need us.
