A beautiful day to visit West Cornwall Hospital to begin planning for @RCHTWeCare Butterfly Companion Volunteers to support patients who spend their final days in Penzance. Ward managers are keen to work with me to trial an ‘on call’ volunteer companion service 🦋📞

As part of @RCHTWeCare Volunteer Week celebrations, Trust Chief Executive Steve Williamson met Butterfly Companion Jean to learn more about the amazing work of an end-of-life companion volunteer. Our team are all supported by the expertise of @AnneRobsonTrust 🦋

Great session with the @RCHTWeCare acute physiotherapy medical rehab team yesterday, explaining the support that Butterfly Companions provide end of life patients + their families. Recruiting them as eyes + ears on the wards so together we can help more patients🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦋 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

The ⁦@RCHTWeCare⁩ Butterfly Companions had a great team supervision yesterday, including an introduction to Jewish death practices from Jeremy of Kehillat Kernow. He showed us his prayer shawl & gave a great insight into the preferences a Jewish patient may have. 🦋

We never expect thank yous, but when the Butterfly Companions @RCHTWeCare receive cards from grateful families it’s hugely encouraging for all the volunteers. 🦋 @AnneRobsonTrust

On this day in 2013(!) I hosted the annual Reading town centre pancake race for a (now deceased) local radio station, and the local newspaper came very close to suggesting that I was a tosser. Which is fair enough, let’s be honest 😂

@Cornwallhospice Do you have a rough idea of when you might next run the ‘planning for the future’ workshop please? No pun intended! Thanks ☺️

I’ve learned a lot about brain cancer in the last four weeks including this shocking statistic. Grateful to those campaigning today. In our house we’re focused on recovery from surgery and awaiting an initial appointment with oncology. #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay
The Brain Tumour Charity@BrainTumourOrg

Today is #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay, and we’re highlighting today that the UK is falling behind other countries. We’ve compared survival outcomes between the UK and comparable countries and found that brain tumours and other less survivable cancers continue to lag behind.

Thank you @ChaplaincyRcht for creating this beautiful, simple way for visitors, staff and volunteers to remember loved ones no longer with us, or patients we hold in our hearts ♥️🦋. It was lovely singing as part of the scratch choir at today’s carols in the chapel too 🎵
RCHT Chaplaincy@ChaplaincyRcht

Remember a loved one this Christmas by writing their name on a star and hanging it on our Christmas Star Memory Tree which was launched today at the Treliske chapel. @RCHTWeCare #christmasmemorytree
