Why Marie Curie nursing is so important

Care that really matters

When someone is dying there is only one chance to get their death right for them and their family, according to Marie Curie Nurses Catherine, Lorna and Franky.     

Catherine says: "We know most people want a peaceful, dignified death in their own home and we can help them achieve that."

Lorna says: "We're looking after not just the patient but the carer as well. They are often very devoted to looking after a love one but they can't do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"And if we weren't there to help them they would become exhausted and we’d end up with two patients!"
