The Hospice Movement

Middle Ages – physical an spiritual refreshment/sick/travellers/elderly. Most had a Christian foundation. Most were run by Monks and Nuns Modern Hospice Movement – 19 th century

The Hospice Movement Irish Nuns – Sisters of Charity, est. a home for the dying in Dublin 1900 – five Nuns from the Order arrived in England to set up a home for the terminally ill in the East End of London 1910 – St Joseph’s Hospice up and running 1967 – Cicely Saunders set up St. Christopher’s Hospice in London

The Hospice Movement Today – over 100 in- patient hospices in England Each offers care and support for the terminally ill – currently approx 2000 in patients 1974 – First Hospice opened in USA – now 2000 strong looking after 300,000 patients

The Hospice Movement In both countries there are not enough beds for the number of patients Hospices depend on fund raising/personal donations/money left in wills

Aims of the Hospice Movement Central Aim - Offer care and support to patients/friends/relatives Three Aims 1. To relieve pain 2. Help people face up to forthcoming death 3. To care for the emotional and mental needs of friends and relatives

How the Hospice Movement helps They offer initially short term residential care – a week or two As health declines they offer longer time People can choose to die in the hospice or at home If they wish to die at home Macmillan nurses are employed to help

Questions and tasks Do you think Hospices should receive government money? Give reasons for your answer Why do you think that many non religious people support the work of hospices? Give reasons for your answer Comment on these two quotations:- “Anything which says to the very ill that they are a burden to their family and that they would be better off dead is unacceptable. What sort of society could let its old folk die because they are ‘in the way’?” “By giving terminally ill children permission to be who they are and ensuring that they are in a loving, supportive environment, it is possible to help them meet death with a dignity and with a nobility which in no way denies grief”
