We provide advice and support for patients living in Great Yarmouth & Waveney who have any life limiting illness, or progressive illness - and for their families, and/ or their formal and informal carers - when they come into the James Paget University Hospital.
Advice and support may be given by phone, or by a visit from a member of the palliative care team, which includes nurses and doctors.
The last days of life in hospital can be traumatic for dying patients and their loved ones. At our hospital, the needs and wishes of the dying person and those close to them are paramount - and we work to ensure that they receive high quality focused care in their last few days and hours of life.
To help us achieve this, we have developed an End of Life Care Strategy - based on national best practice – and our own ambition to ensure that patients reaching the end of their life, and their loved ones, are listened to and cared for in a compassionate, supportive way.
The Louise Hamilton Centre provides services for people with life limiting and progressive illness, their families and carers. Their priority is to support you and your loved ones and to provide information and advice when you need it most.
Our pain management team offer a variety of treatments and services to patients who have acute (new) or chronic pain that has lasted more than three months, whatever the cause of that pain might be.
