At Willow Burn our aim is to relieve pain and suffering for individuals with terminal or life-limiting illness, and their families and carers through the provision of free palliative care to the community of North Durham. To achieve this, we offer pain and symptom control, respite care, and end of life care.  as well as services to support families and carers. To deliver good hospice care you have to put yourself in the patient’s shoes, “if that was me, how would I like to be treated?” This question drives our team and ensures that we seek to provide the best possible care for people in their last weeks, days and hours.
