I am pleased to present St Peter and St James Hospice and Continuing Care Centre to you. You will see that we offer a wide range of services which are delivered through our Inpatient Unit, Day Centre and by our Specialist Community Team. Our categories of care span respite, rehabilitation, terminal and continuing care, all delivered by a highly skilled team of professionals.

We provide a quality of service to the community, which is recognised as a model of good practice. Our strength lies in what we value, our patients, staff performance and innovation. This year we have gained the "Investor in People Award" a national standard for effective investment in people.

Over the 27 years we have continued to grow and develop, refocusing some of our services in response to the changing needs of the community we serve. We are now an integrated unit, providing specialist hospice care and longer term continuing care. This allows us to continue to provide all the services associated with Hospice care such as pain and symptom control and to embrace longer term care for people with a terminal illness. This means more people will benefit from the skills of our dedicated team.

We are indebted to our supporters for their continuing loyalty to the work of the Trust. Without their commitment we would not be able to provide such essential services to our local community.
