Our inpatient unit of five beds is currently the smallest inpatient unit in the United Kingdom and, since 1991, has maintained the only inpatient beds dedicated for palliative care in Bury.

Situation

Physical constraints of the existing building make it difficult to admit patients who need specialist equipment such as large wheelchairs. In 2006, the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network undertook a Palliative Care Needs Assessment (The Dearden Report) which identified the need for palliative care beds, based on the size of population, in Bury. It suggested nine cancer and five non-cancer beds were needed.

Solution

A larger and bespoke building will allow us to deliver our care to more in-patients with a wide range of diagnoses and to offer day and out patients a more diverse service which can be tailored to each individual patient’s needs.
