End of Life Care

Here at Leeds Teaching Hospitals we firmly believe that end of life care is everybody's business. Kindness and compassion are part of our core values but there are also simple, practical things that hospital staff can do to support the relatives and carers of those patients approaching the end of their lives. We know that small things can make a huge difference at such a difficult time and with that in mind, the SUPPORT campaign aims to raise awareness of the things we can do to make the relatives experience a little bit easier, from offering care parking permits, comfort care packs and open visiting to providing refreshments and explaining where to get something to eat.
