A nursing associate is a member of the nursing team that helps bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses., The Nursing Associate delivers compassionate, high quality, and patient-centred care to individuals facing life limiting illnesses. The role involves supporting the nursing team in providing holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. The Nursing Associate is responsible for assisting with day-to-day clinical tasks, ensuring comfort, dignity, and respect for patients in their final stages of life. By working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, the Nursing Associate helps to create a supportive and nurturing environment, enhancing the quality of life for patients and providing crucial support to their loved ones.

St Giles Hospice is a registered charity founded in 1983 by the Reverend Paul Brothwell, originally to improve the care of local people dyingwith cancer. We now support people in our community whose illnesses may not be curable such as cancer, motor neurone disease, heart failure, MS and respiratory disease. We also offer support for families and helpers.

Our dedicated team provides individually-tailored care either at the hospice or in patients own homes across our communities.

The range of specialist services is provided free of charge to those who need it. Although St Giles receives some funding from the Government, we rely heavily on donations and fundraising.
