In April last year, Dr Alison Sneddon’s father Bruce was diagnosed with inoperable and terminal cancer. He moved into Dr Sneddon’s home in North Berwick, where he was looked after by palliative care nurse Linda Thompson. Dr Sneddon said: “It was surely one of the greatest privileges of my life to journey alongside dad each day during the 11 weeks from diagnosis until his death. “The grace, gratitude and good humour with which he approached his illness and imminent death was truly inspirational. “We were very fortunate to have an outstanding local GP and team of district nurses whose support made it possible for my husband, a retired doctor, and me to care for dad at our home right up to the end.”
