IN-PATIENT CARE
The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice has 14 beds on Willow ward, with 10 single
rooms and a 4-bedded bay for female patients. The ward has four times the
average nurse-patient ratio found in a hospital, and this is reflected in
the amount of time spent on nursing care for each individual patient. There
are also four doctors who are responsible for the day-to-day medical care on
the wards and in Day Care.
Where possible, patients are given a choice of accommodation they would
prefer. Priority is always given to ensure that the dignity and privacy of
our patients is maintained at all times. Each room is equipped with a
television and the Hospice has an extensive video library for the use of
patients.
There is a large sitting room for in-patients, their families and friends,
and coffee and tea making facilities are available. There is also an inner
courtyard area to be enjoyed and spacious gardens surround the Hospice
