What the professionals say about our service

"Patients and their families can clearly face very difficult times within the context of a diagnosis of cancer. Good care clearly necessitates appropriate supportive care and symptom control right from the point of diagnosis, through the patient’s journey as well as at the end of life and on into bereavement.

"The Team at Cotswold Care Hospice is very much able to provide the appropriate skill and time to support patients and their carers in this setting.

"The Hospice is clearly aspiring towards developing its services to meet the needs of the local population and is working hard to ensure co-ordination of good quality care within Gloucestershire."

                                                            Dr Sam Guglani,
                                                            Consultant Clinical Oncologist
                                                            Cheltenham General Hospital

"My patients love Cotswold Care Hospice. They find a really warm welcome, enjoy being pampered and have the opportunity to talk about their diagnosis if they want, but don't feel obliged."

Dr David Pouncey, GP

"I am very proud to be associated with Cotswold Care Hospice. Over the years the team has looked after both patients and friends and the care has been exemplary. We are very fortunate to have the hospice in our area - it is a major asset that needs to be cherished and nurtured."
