Professional Education and Facilities at St Mary’s
At St Mary’s, we believe that every patient and their loved ones deserve compassionate, well-informed care—enabling them to live well and, when the time comes, die with dignity in the manner and place of their choosing. Our goal is to equip care providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to make this possible.
In addition to our regular workshops and study days, we offer tailored in-house training upon request, ensuring that organisations receive education that meets their specific needs.
St Mary’s Hospice also offers a meeting room for hire for professional and community use.
