St. John's Hospice, Wirral

St John’s Hospice in Wirral provides Specialist Palliative Care and support for patients with severe and progressive disease, usually cancer, where curative treatment is no longer possible.

We work in conjunction with the Wirral Hospital and Community Specialist Palliative Care teams to provide an integrated service for patients whilst extending care and support to those close to them.

The aim of the Hospice is to warmly welcome people with progressive illness, which has failed to respond to curative treatment, into the quiet calm of a highly professional caring atmosphere, which comforts always both them and those who are important to them.

Our specialist team comprises Medical and Nursing staff, Social Workers, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Psychologist, Aromatherapist, Creative Therapist, Chaplains, Housekeeping/Maintenance staff and Volunteers all working together as a team to improve the quality of life of patients under their care.

The demands on our Hospice services continue to grow – this year the cost of providing care to all our patients and their loved ones will be over £2.4 million, the bulk of which we need to raise from local voluntary sources. Last year in addition we have raised an additional £500K for our Anniversary Appeal to equip our new Out Patient Services Unit and refurbish parts of our existing building.
