Cambridge based hospice, Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, is showing its support of UK nurses by becoming the first hospice to join a special membership programme which aims to transform the lives of nursing professionals facing personal or financial hardship.

Arthur Rank Hospice Charity supports people in Cambridgeshire living with a life-limiting illness and those who need end-of-life care. Services are provided free of charge to patients and their families; aiming to provide the highest quality care, to help make every moment count.

Joining Cavell Nurses’ Trust at a special reception at the House of Lords on Thursday, 12th September 2019, HR Director, Gemma Manning said, “We are incredibly excited to be the first hospice to work with Cavell Nurses’ Trust. Our nursing colleagues provide outstanding care to our patients on a daily basis, but we are aware that there are times when they may also need support and guidance on a range of personal issues, from ill health to financial concerns.”

The Hospice cares for and supports more than 3600 patients each year across the Hospice in Cambridge, the Alan Hudson Day Treatment Centre in Wisbech and in patients’ own homes via the Arthur Rank Community Team.

Chief Executive of Cavell Nurses’ Trust, John Orchard, commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Arthur Rank Hospice Charity to the ‘Working with’ programme. Through our partnership we will be able to highlight the importance of supporting the welfare of the nursing professionals that the UK relies on.”
