WHAT THEY ARE DOING |
| |
| The Irish Cancer Society |
Apart from being one of the main watch dogs for Cancer Awareness in Ireland where some of the money we gave has gone too, the ICS provides a national service for critically ill patients with cancer in their home. This service is vital to relieve the difficulties that families experience during this time. Night Nursing allows the patient to remain at home, thereby maintaining the continuity of care that the patient has experienced, surrounded by their family and supported by the home care team. Night Nurses sit with the patient through the night, providing nursing care, practical support and reassurance. We supported part of this ongoing cost. |
