What the hospice means to me

When I found out my work experience was at St Mary’s Hospice part of me was nervous however the other part of me was really intrigued to find out more about the service and what it provides. Everyone is so welcoming at the hospice which makes it a much more happier place and it has made me feel more confident throughout the week. I have spent my time in several different sectors at the hospice throughout the week where I have been able to get a good insight of what it’s all about. I also spent a day at the Living Well Centre where I was able to spend some time with some of the patients and have a good chat with them and get to know what the afternoon there was all about!

St Mary’s Hospice has also provided out some support and care through my family and family friends when times may have been rough, however they were always able to brighten their days and bring in a sense of happiness which helped to support loved ones! Thank you to everyone at St Mary’s Hospice for being so welcoming during the week, I have loved finding out what it’s all about and it has really made me think about what I want to do when I leave school.
