We work with other local health and social care partners to promote the My Care Choices Record, a document where people who are living with an incurable illness, dementia or frailty can record and share their choices for future care, including end of life care.
Once the record has been filled out, consent can be given for the person’s GP to record their choices on the My Care Choices Register.
The My Care Choices Register is an electronic record of a person’s decisions about the kind of care they wish to receive in the future if they were more unwell and their preference for the place of care at end of life.
It is held online and can be accessed securely only by staff responsible for their care, such as GPs, community nurses, hospital staff, ambulance services, and St Helena, who host the register. They can access it any hour of the day or night, so people can be confident that everyone looking after them knows the care they want.
Your donation, large or small, can make a big difference, giving more local people dignity and choice at the end of life.
Read stories DonateWhen you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. For more information about Gift Aid, please visit www.gov.uk
