A HOSPICE team’s efforts have been recognised with a nomination for a leading national award for their work with patients receiving end of life care.

Willowbrook Hospice is one of only five UK hospices shortlisted in the Palliative and Hospice Care Team category in the British Medical Journal’s awards.

The nomination acknowledges the work that Dr Paula Powell, clinical lead of palliative medicine, and her team have been doing on the THINK delirium project.

Paula said: “The project has been a real team effort and has also drawn on the feedback from patients on how best to give information. I am delighted that the hard work of the whole team has been recognised as we continue to strive to provide the best possible care for patients.”

The winner will be announced May 10.
