Hospiscare social diary

Corporate supporters of Exeter Hospiscare attended a Christmas drinks reception at the city hospice.

Guest speaker Express & Echo editor Jon-Paul Hedge praised Hospiscare saying: “When I visited the hospice I was unbelievably taken aback by the place. I have visited other hospices but what stood out was the quality and calibre of the staff. "

Jon-Paul ran the London Marathon for Hospiscare saying he was spurred on by thinking about the care given at the hospice. He congratulated Hospiscare on another amazing year.

Dr Jim Gilbert, Hospiscare medical director, told guests: “Your support is very welcome and we could not do this without your support,” he said.

He spoke about the importance of a movement called Dying Matters which seeks to change attitudes to death and dying.
