The Living Well programme is designed to help patients adjust to and live well with a progressive life limiting illness. It is an eight-week programme for 2 hours per week, held in a positive and active environment.
Each weekly session covers a different topic including:
Fatigue management
Sleeping and relaxation
Mindful movement
Eating well
Emotional wellbeing
Future planning
Relaxation and reflection
The session structure covers a small amount of theory with an activity related to the theme of that week. There are regular mindfulness therapeutic rest breaks, and our complementary therapists and spiritual care team will be on hand.
These sessions are for patients only, but carers can visit the coffee shop at the Hospice while the group is taking place.
