In-patient ward
Patients are admitted onto Rowcroft’s 18 bed specialist palliative care unit for symptom or pain control or care in the final stages of illness. Illnesses seen include cancer, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, AIDs and other life-threatening conditions.
The average stay is 12 days, and many people go home after their stay, either when their immediate condition has stabilised or because it is their wish to die at home following pain and symptom control. The team on the in-patient ward works closely with patients, carers and families offering advice and liaising.
