PHYLLIS Tuckwell is reminding people that every Tuesday the hospice opens its doors to anyone who would like to find out more about the care which it offers.

Maybe a loved one has recently been referred to Phyllis Tuckwell, or the person themselves have a terminal illness.

Covering the whole of West Surrey and part of North East Hampshire, and caring for more than 250 people every day, Phyllis Tuckwell provides medical and clinical care, therapies, counselling, social work advice and practical support for its patients and their families and carers, at the hospice in Farnham, the Beacon Centre in Guildford and in patients’ own homes.

Anyone who would like to see the hospice building but perhaps don’t want to make a formal appointment, can drop in any Tuesday between 2pm and 4pm.

Visitors will be welcomed in the hospice’s Dove Lounge, where day hospice is held, and staff and volunteers will be on hand to greet visitors and answer any questions they may have.

These open house afternoons coincide with the last hour of the charity’s Tuesday day hospice sessions, which run from 10am to 3pm, and the overlap will give visitors an opportunity to see how a day hospice session runs, as well as being able to meet and chat with the nurses there and see the hospice building and facilities.

There is no need to book in advance, simply turn up on the day. The hospice building is situated on the corner of Menin Way and Waverley Lane, Farnham.
