DAY services have resumed at Weldmar Hospicecare.

Staff at Weldmar Hospicecare, a specialist end of life care provider for people living in Dorset, have welcomed patients back to the charity's day services as lockdown restrictions were eased.

The service is for people who are approaching the end of their life and/or have complex palliative care needs.

Jenny Wood, day services lead, is excited to have the service back up and running. She said: "It has felt like it's been a really long time for people who have been shielding, isolating and staying away, but now there's a real sense that we can come back together again slowly and safely.

"People have really missed getting together and being able to share things with each other."

Day services have resumed at Trimar house in Weymouth on Mondays, at Weldmar's inpatient unit in Dorchester on Tuesdays, at Bridport Community Hospital on Wednesdays and Blandford Community Hospital on Thursdays.
