The service offers holistic care (emotional, spiritual, social and medical), provided by a multidisciplinary team. The team comprises of a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, doctor, nurses, chaplain, complementary therapists and a dedicated group of local volunteers. The Hospice is further supported by other services such Macmillan CNS, Speech and language therapy, Lymphoedema therapy, Social Services and the Third Sector.
