Earlier this month, a touching wish from a patient at our In-Patient Unit (IPU) in Taunton captured the hearts of staff, volunteers, and the wider community.

"From the cleaners who always stopped to ask how we were and made Mum giggle, to the chefs who gave us countless puddings, to the unbelievably talented nurses, doctors, and HCAs who formed special connections with Mum—we can’t thank you enough. Thank you from all of our hearts for providing Mum with the most peaceful end-of-life care.”
