We provide palliative and end of life care to adults (18+) with a progressive, treatable but not curable life-limiting illness or with severe frailty, and also their family (including children) and carers.
We care for people across our 800sq mile catchment area which covers Bath & North East Somerset (BaNES), and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset. Our services provide physical, psychological and/or spiritual support, and are free of charge. We’re available day and night to ensure that you have the right care, at the right time.
When someone is ill, it’s not just the patient who is affected. Life can be turned upside down for the family and for friends and carers. That’s why we’re here for you, for as long as you need. Our patient, family and carer resources can be accessed via our Information Hub.

Sky Kids FYI - Lifecycles
We are proud to be featured in the latest episode of Sky Kids FYI, in a film entitled ‘Lifecycles.’
The team filmed at the Hospice, exploring our Interactive Nature Trail with Lucy, whose dad was cared for on our Inpatient Unit, and Julia Davidson from our Family Services Team. The film is a welcome iteration of our vision of a society where death is a part of life, and the importance of destigmatising death and dying for children and young people.
You can watch the full episode of FYI on demand via Sky News YouTube, Sky Kids, and the First News website.
