Dove House Hospice What they stand for

Philosophy

• We believe that the patients, and their families and friends, are at the centre of everything we do.
• We believe we should meet the individual needs of people with life-threatening illnesses and of those who care about them.  These needs may be physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological.
• We believe we should provide a unique and special range of services which are equally available to all residents of North Humberside.
• We recognise that the service is provided by a wide range of people, all of whose contributions are important and valued.
• We recognise that all our people, both paid and unpaid, can only give of their best when they are supported in their work.
• We recognise the need to make the best possible use of all our resources, managing them and operating in a professional, caring and efficient way.
• We believe we should provide an environment in which feelings may be openly expressed, and acknowledged with sensitivity.
