Our Philosophy

“Myton staff always listened to
what Mum wanted, she felt in control.”

Each one of us is a unique individual. We aim to provide Specialist Palliative Care of the highest quality for adult patients with advanced progressive life limiting illness, taking into account their medical, physical, cultural, psychological, spiritual and social needs in a non judgmental way with love, respect and humour in a safe homely environment.

We will try to alleviate fears and anxieties through sharing information, with time to reflect and discuss any concerns, thus bringing peace and fulfilment to life, enabling each patient to achieve their potential.

All care will be delivered in a respectful and courteous manner to preserve dignity, individuality and privacy and in doing so will be sensitive to the patient’s ever changing needs. Patients and their carers may need to access different areas of our service at differing times in their illness.

Care will be in partnership, where patients are encouraged to participate in development of their care plan to meet their individual needs. The involvement of family and friends is welcomed, where appropriate, and is greatly valued.

Just as we care for patients in the context of their family and their needs, we aim to support and care for our staff. By doing this we aim to maintain our quality of care and equal opportunity to all who are in need.
