The Dying Well Community Charter For nearly 40 years, Prospect Hospice has been providing the only dedicated end-of-life care to the 300,000 people of Swindon and north east Wiltshire. We bring care, comfort and confidence, around the clock, every day of the year. We do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through its Inpatient Unit, Day Therapy, Community Nurse Specialist Team and our Prospect@Home service.
As people are remaining in employment for longer, it means businesses are seeing more employees with life-limiting illnesses or have staff that has a family member with a life-limiting illness.
What is the Dying Well Community Charter? With our experience of caring for local people and families, we are inviting local businesses to sign up to the Dying Well Community Charter. It enables us to give back by offering our support, advice and resource to line managers, HR teams and business owners. Whether you are looking for help with a bereavement policy, advice on how you can speak to staff diagnosed with a life-limiting illness or a family member of theirs, the Charter and Prospect Hospice will always be there to support and guide you.
By working in partnership with us you can be confident that that your staff are receiving the best advice and support in this difficult time of their life.
