A beautiful day to visit West Cornwall Hospital to begin planning for @RCHTWeCare Butterfly Companion Volunteers to support patients who spend their final days in Penzance. Ward managers are keen to work with me to trial an ‘on call’ volunteer companion service 🦋📞

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

As part of @RCHTWeCare Volunteer Week celebrations, Trust Chief Executive Steve Williamson met Butterfly Companion Jean to learn more about the amazing work of an end-of-life companion volunteer. Our team are all supported by the expertise of @AnneRobsonTrust 🦋

Today @RCHTWeCare staff + visitors can meet a Butterfly Companion in The Royal restaurant. As part of @DyingMatters Week we’re promoting the support available to patients in their final days or hours of life.

We’ve got a brill new banner ⁦@AnneRobsonTrust⁩ ready for ⁦@DyingMatters⁩ Week, when ⁦@RCHTWeCare⁩ staff + visitors can meet a butterfly in The Royal restaurant to learn more about our support in the hospital 🦋

@karamelykaren67 @TruroTeam @churchwarden67 Have lots of fun! Unfortunately it’s M’s birthday party today so we can’t quite fit Easter crafting into the schedule x

Great session with the @RCHTWeCare acute physiotherapy medical rehab team yesterday, explaining the support that Butterfly Companions provide end of life patients + their families. Recruiting them as eyes + ears on the wards so together we can help more patients🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦋 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

The ⁦@RCHTWeCare⁩ Butterfly Companions had a great team supervision yesterday, including an introduction to Jewish death practices from Jeremy of Kehillat Kernow. He showed us his prayer shawl & gave a great insight into the preferences a Jewish patient may have. 🦋

We never expect thank yous, but when the Butterfly Companions @RCHTWeCare receive cards from grateful families it’s hugely encouraging for all the volunteers. 🦋 @AnneRobsonTrust

@AndyDavidJones I was there organising for @Launchpad_RDG 😍

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

@emmahoneybone My thoughts are with you. I’ve been following your journey and I’m grateful to you for sharing what you and Mike have been through. Thank you. Take care of yourself now ♥️

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

@MatronBudds @KMTrowt @UHP_NHS @wiseemmielou Congratulations Sarah! You have been such a wonderful supporter of the Butterfly Companions, I will really miss you! All the very best 💕

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

@Cornwallhospice Do you have a rough idea of when you might next run the ‘planning for the future’ workshop please? No pun intended! Thanks ☺️

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

I’ve learned a lot about brain cancer in the last four weeks including this shocking statistic. Grateful to those campaigning today. In our house we’re focused on recovery from surgery and awaiting an initial appointment with oncology. #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay

[The Brain Tumour Charity @BrainTumourOrg]

Today is #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay, and we’re highlighting today that the UK is falling behind other countries. We’ve compared survival outcomes between the UK and comparable countries and found that brain tumours and other less survivable cancers continue to lag behind.

Thank you @ChaplaincyRcht for creating this beautiful, simple way for visitors, staff and volunteers to remember loved ones no longer with us, or patients we hold in our hearts ♥️🦋. It was lovely singing as part of the scratch choir at today’s carols in the chapel too 🎵

[RCHT Chaplaincy @ChaplaincyRcht]

Remember a loved one this Christmas by writing their name on a star and hanging it on our Christmas Star Memory Tree which was launched today at the Treliske chapel. @RCHTWeCare #christmasmemorytree

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

Thanks @Skentelbery for the chance to talk @BBCCornwall about the Butterfly Companions supporting dying patients & their families @RCHTWeCare. This pilot was generously funded by @RCHTCharity with expert support from @AnneRobsonTrust. Thanks to @RCHTWeCare we’re here to stay🦋

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

@CassidyJanne @RCHTVoluntarySv @ChaplaincyRcht @AnneRobsonTrust It’s a rubbish time of year to be poorly, so many fun things happening! Hope you are better now 😘

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]

So sad I’ve spent the day of the Butterfly Companions Christmas party in my sick bed 😥. My fab ⁦@RCHTVoluntarySv⁩ and ⁦@ChaplaincyRcht⁩ colleagues hosted brilliantly and we won the ⁦@AnneRobsonTrust⁩ countrywide quiz!! ⁦ The cards I made the volunteers 🦋🌲⬇️

[Eleanor Buckley @EleBuckley]
