Hospice closing stores and suspending fundraisers

Hospice Isle of Man is closing all stores except Hospice Warehouse and suspending its fundraising and community events.

The organisation is announcing a raft of new measures to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus whilst still providing support for its patients.

Among those, teams are using ZOOM to provide daily virtual assistance to nursing and residential care settings and four hubs across the Island being developed to provide a flexible reponse to End of Life care needs.

Hospice Chief Executive, Anne Mills, says they remain committed to providing the best quality care whilst they also face challenges in facing the pandemic.
