Testimonial
"After I saw the care my dad received at the hospice, I knew I wanted to work there." Barbara Bennett, a Healthcare Assistant at Birmingham Hospice's Erdington site, was inspired to join the hospice after seeing the expert palliative care her dad, Frederick, received there. Having worked in healthcare for 30 years, Barbara decided it was time she went into palliative and end of life care after helping to care for her father when he was diagnosed with heart failure, kidney failure and dementia.
