We are delighted to see the publication of this document from the Department of Health, which reflects the importance of people being able to die in the setting they choose.

Chief Executive Sandie Foxall-Smith said, “The focus at St Peter’s has always been to allow the patient be cared for in their preferred place of choice, whether that is in the familiar surroundings of their own home or within one of our two hospice buildings, at Knowle and Brentry.”

“Our teams of Community Nurse Specialists already work closely with GPs and district nurses and other agencies in Bristol to enable this to happen.”
