St Elizabeth Hospice was among the first hospices in the country to set up an advice line which reaches out direct to the general public, as well as healthcare professionals, on the subject of specialist palliative and supportive care. It is the first service of its kind in East Anglia.
From the very first moment, they made us feel at ease. OneCall, gives us such reassurance and helps take pressure off me, as I look after my wife.
