Family, Patient & Carer Support

Support is available by telephone, online or through face-to-face appointments, working at a pace that suits you and your family.
Our team also supports children and young people, helping families have sensitive conversations about illness and bereavement. Where appropriate, we can work with schools and other professionals to provide additional support.

Bereavement Support
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.
Our Bereavement Team provides a safe, confidential space for families, friends and carers to explore their feelings, talk about their experiences and find support following the death of a loved one.
Support may include telephone conversations, individual appointments, counselling, group sessions and family support.
Our specialist bereavement enquiry line is also available to anyone in Somerset who has been affected by bereavement of any kind, including professionals seeking information and guidance.
