Meet Tina and Sharon

Tina and Sharon, a cheerful duo in our Outpatient Services team, bring infectious joy and laughter, uplifting patients and making every day brighter.

What do you do?

“We support people living with life-limiting conditions, trying to help them stay independent and feel good. It's not just about the medical aspects, it's about the whole person. We offer tailored therapeutic care, like physiotherapy and complementary therapies, all in a really welcoming, safe space. A big part of our role is chatting with patients, having a laugh, we might do some arts and crafts, have a sing along – whatever makes them feel a bit more themselves and relaxed. It’s about giving patients some normality, supporting them in every way we can."

What's one thing you wish everyone knew about hospice care?

"People think hospices are depressing, but it's really not like that here. It's about pain control, symptom management, and giving people a better quality of life. It's about living, not just dying. The day therapy unit really is about offering a place for normality and support."

What do you find most rewarding?

"It's seeing them come in nervous and then wanting to come back next week. Knowing we've made them feel at home, that we've given them a place where they can be themselves. It's about being there for them, listening, and doing everything we can to make their day a bit brighter. And when families tell us how much we've helped, that's really rewarding."

How do you feel when you go home from a shift?

"It can be tough. We think about some patients, especially the younger ones a lot. But you have to learn to switch off, to separate work and home. But we support each other, and we talk about things if we need to. It's important to have that balance, but also to know you've made a difference."
