St Gemma’s Hospice provides the best possible care and support for local people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
How We Can Help
We specialise in palliative care
We specialise in pain relief and symptom control to help people live as well as possible, for as long as possible. This is known as palliative care.
It’s a friendly, warm and safe place at the heart of the local community with a large range of expert services to support patients, their families and friends, both in the Hospice and in the community.
