Hospice Isle of Man community outreach programme to recommence

An innovative and creative programme aimed at promoting independence and wellbeing, and putting patients firmly at the centre of care will be again be able to recommence it’s sessions from Monday 6th September 2021.

The sessions were temporarily suspended due to the increase of COVID-19 cases amongst the community on the Isle of Man.

Your Hospice, Your Way is a nine week independence and wellbeing programme, delivering hospice influenced care in a community setting. The aim is for it to be a flexible service that is tailored to suit the needs of those who need support. It will be led and delivered by a team of professionals and is continually reviewed, evaluated and improved. The programme is rolling, so after the first nine weeks, it will begin again for a new cohort.

The programme can be delivered in a way that suits the person attending best; either in person, digitally via Zoom, social media, group work and one-to-one sessions. It is open to those living with life limiting conditions or palliative care needs, their families and carers.

From the week beginning Monday 6th September 2021, the Your Hospice, Your Way sessions will take place on Wednesdays 1.30pm until 4.00pm at Hospice and on Thursdays 1.30pm until 4.00pm at Thie Rosien, Port Erin. These will continue on the respective days for the next nine weeks following this.
