Therapy Team

At Salisbury Hospice, our Palliative Care Therapy Team provides compassionate and expert therapy support for patients with complex palliative care needs.

Serving across inpatient, day care, community, and outpatient settings, the team plays a vital role in helping individuals manage challenging symptoms, maintain their independence, and continue living with dignity, comfort, and purpose.

Through personalised therapy plans and close collaboration with clinical staff, the team ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their unique needs, promoting both physical and emotional wellbeing and supporting the best possible quality of life throughout their palliative care journey.

Who we are

Our multidisciplinary therapy team includes:

A specialist Occupational Therapist
A specialist Physiotherapist
Skilled Therapy Assistants

We work collaboratively across all hospice and community services, closely linking with the Community Palliative Care Team and Hospice at Home team. This ensures continuity of care and a smooth transition between services.

Our approach to palliative therapy

We offer a rehabilitative palliative care approach, tailoring every intervention to the individual needs and goals of our patients and their families. Our work is both:

Proactive:

Carefully planning interventions that promote independence

Responsive:

Adapting quickly to changing health conditions and needs.

As more people live longer with life-limiting illnesses, our therapy team plays a key role in enabling patients to self-manage symptoms and preserve their physical and emotional well-being.
