Our Hospice Patient and Family Support service will be opening its doors on August 31 for the public to take a full look at the range of social prescribing services it offers from our Ecclesall Road South site, connecting people to non-medical activities, groups and support that improve health and wellbeing.
For St Luke’s patients that means access to physio and occupational therapy, wellbeing and creative therapies, social work and chaplaincy or spiritual support, as well as relaxation and wellbeing techniques, tips on nutrition, routine and sleep – all offered at our Little Common Lane site - as well as fun activities for all interests at our Ecclesall Road South site.
And the special open day at Ecclesall Road South, which runs from 11am to 3pm, will be a chance for members of the public to see for themselves how the service operates and meet key members of the Patient and Family Support team.
There will also be an opportunity to take part in free arts and craft sessions and enjoy a range of special family attractions.
"Do you have a palliative condition or care for someone with a palliative condition?” asked our Chief Executive Jo Lenton.
“This day is perfect for anybody who thinks St Luke’s could offer support to them as our social prescribing services provide a full range of activities specifically designed to help people living with terminal illness, either as a patient or as a carer.
“Come along and join us for an entertaining and informative day for all the family to enjoy.”
