St Luke’s supporters joined Samantha Cameron at a special reception at No.10 Downing Street on Tuesday 17 May to raise awareness of the way in which the hospice supports end of life patients during a crisis at home.
St Luke’s Hospice was proud to hold a special reception at No.10 Downing street to help raise awareness of their Single Point of Access service which gives patients, carers and health care professionals a single number they can call 24 hours a day seven days a week for end of life care, advice and support in Harrow. The hospice’s rapid response team can also provide emergency care at home to avoid patients being admitted unnecessarily to hospital when it is their wish to remain at home.
Generous supporters have to date pledged £69,000 to help fund nurses and health care assistants to carry out emergency visits.
St Luke’s CEO, Robin Webb, St Luke’s Chairman, Mike Redhouse, and Hospice patron Lord Dolar Popat were joined at No.10 Downing Street by prominent members of the community including CB Patel, publisher of Asian Voice, the Dhamecha family, who are supporting St Luke’s as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations, together with long standing supporters and volunteers of the hospice
