Bringing care home

In 1979, Heulwen Egerton, a nurse tutor at Newport’s Royal Gwent Hospital set up the ‘Gwent Hospice Project Group.’ The group was made up of like-minded individuals who were concerned at the lack of palliative care available to the people of Gwent.

From our first year of operation, caring for six patients, St. David’s Hospice Care has grown to become the UK’s largest provider of hospice at home care, caring for over 3,200 patients and families every year, at a cost over £7.9 million.

The need for St David’s Hospice Care’s services continues to increase year on year and last year more than 3,386 patients and families were cared for by St David’s, more than 30 per cent of whom had a non- cancer diagnosis.
