"Palliative community care and clinics"

About: Sutherland Hospital / TSH Supportive and Palliative Care Clinics (The Sutherland Hospital)

(as a carer),

My sister sees Dr Camilla and the Calvary community palliative care team. They have been excellent and go above and beyond to ensure my sister is stays alive but also lives a life worth living and gets quality of love. They have done everything in their power to help my sister survive her chemotherapy treatment at home and in hospital. 

They have helped her and her family life a quality life at home and have done everything to help her be able to function day to day, live pain free, and achieve her goals even while surviving living with cancer.  

They are always on time and actually listens to her and us. They don't ignore our concerns and problems and seek to address them asap and as efficiently and effectively as possible. They are excellent. I believe my sister would be dead without them and I would have killed myself due to stress and lack of support.  They are the reason we can keep fighting and have a life even though we have cancer and are in this situation.

Dear bluejt56,

I appreciate you taking the time to let me know about our community palliative care team. I was very pleased to read of the excellent service they are providing to your sister. We work hard to provide a service that caters to our patients needs and it is wonderful to read of the impact the palliative care team have on your family.

It will give me great pleasure to pass your very kind words on to the entire team.

Best wishes to you, your sister and your family.

Sincerely

Vicki Weeden
