Approach to care
St Elizabeth Hospice provides a multi-professional palliative care service giving specialist advice and care, supporting primary health care teams, statutory and non-statutory agencies as well as Ipswich Hospital
Specialist palliative care is the active total care of patients with progressive advanced disease and a limited prognosis, including care and support for their families. Highly specialised medical care and a full range of multi-professional support is delivered by practitioners with advanced knowledge and skills in palliative care.

The overall aims of the care we provide at St Elizabeth Hospice are:
- To provide care for patients with advanced illnesses, including cancer, motor-neurone disease, AIDS/ HIV and any other life-threatening illnesses.
- To maintain a calm, unhurried environment where patients can experience a realistic and good quality of life.
- To enable patients wherever possible to be free of pain and other symptoms including emotional distress.
