Holistic care underpins everything we do at St John’s, which is why we provide a broad range of specialist support and services, to ensure that each of our patients, their families, and carers, are supported through every aspect of their journey.
Our care is completely free of charge and is available to anyone aged 18 or over living within our catchment area. Sometimes we can care for people even if they live outside of this area, for example, when a close family member or friend lives within our catchment.
We recognise that illness does not discriminate - it affects people regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality or beliefs. We care for any person living with a life-limiting illness - including cardiac, respiratory, or renal conditions, HIV, cancer, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's - and at different stages of your illness.
Whatever your diagnosis, our focus is on enabling you to live well for as long as possible.
