Until March 2020, one of the benefits that many Prospect Hospice patients appreciated was the Day Therapy Service.
Patients were offered a 16-week programme of activities twice a week at the hospice, which ranged from rehabilitation and physiotherapy to courses of how to manage symptoms such as stress, fatigue and breathlessness.
It was also, says day therapy service lead Zoe O’Reilly, a chance for patients to have some social time with people facing similar challenges to the ones they faced.
“The programmes we run are centred around the individual patient, understanding their goals and helping them achieve those,” said Zoe.
