Clinical Director at Hospiscare in beautiful Devon. My views are my own

[Ann Rhys @acrhys]

We are so devastated to be having to reduce our clinical services. Please follow the links below to support our fair funding campaign. The end of your life is one of the most important moments for you and your loved ones, and receiving outstanding care should be a given...

[Hospiscare @Hospiscare]

Hospice service cuts are the last thing we want. We're calling on Devon ICB, the local body that allocates healthcare funding, to fund our hospice fairly, & asking the govt to urgently tackle the hospice funding crisis.

So thrilled to be able to share our news publicly. I am proud to work alongside such amazing, compassionate and skilled colleagues who make everyday matter to our patients and those important to them at such a difficult time in their lives...

[Hospiscare @Hospiscare]

We're proud to announce that Hospiscare has once again been rated as ‘outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, the regulatory body for healthcare services. 👏

ICYMI: UK hospices are facing a £77m funding deficit.

The current model for hospice funding isn't working, and without change, the sector's future is concerning.

We're urging immediate action to safeguard end of life and palliative care.

Without significant change to make our statutory funding fairer, our services are in danger.

We receive just 18% of funding from the Integrated Care Board (ICB) compared to the national average of 37% that other hospices receive.

Can you help bridge the gap and help fund our care whilst we negotiate with the ICB? 💖

Like all hospices, @Hospiscare provides essential services for some of the most vulnerable people in society, those at the end of their lives or grieving.

Yet a £2.5m funding gap is threatening their services.

Please can you support this amazing charity who without increased funding from our local ICB will need to review the services we offer our local community at such an important time in their lives...

[Hospiscare @Hospiscare]

We urgently need your help to fight for fairer financial support from the Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Just 18% of our costs are funded by the ICB - the national average is 37% that other hospices receive!
