Objectives

When asked, most of us say we want to die at home, in the comfort of familiar surroundings, close to those we love.  The Lawrence Home Nursing Team gives people and their families the support they need to make that possible.  Providing free hands-on care, day and night, our nurses help to fulfill the wishes of anyone who wants to die peacefully at home.

We look after anyone, aged 18 and over, who is in their last weeks of life.  Patients are referred to us by GPs, community and specialist nurses, hospitals, hospices and family members.  

Patients are mainly registered at one of the following General Practices; Bloxham Surgery, The Charlbury Medical Centre, Chipping Norton Health Centre, Deddington Health Centre, Hook Norton Surgery and the Wychwood Surgery

Our team of 20 registered nurses offer care dependent on the needs of each individual patient.  The wishes and priorities of each patient and their family guide our nurses.  The nurses work closely with a patient's GP and community nurse to arrange the care and support that is right for them and their family.

Activities

In order to provide free, end of life nursing care to patients in our catchment area, we need to raise £500,000 per annum.  Income is raised from fundraising events and activities, grants, donations, legacies and investment income.

The charity is regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
