The Beechwood care programme...
Our care programmes offer a complete package of support to patients, family members and carers from the point of diagnosis and beyond. Using the programme, we aim to help patients improve the quality of their lives with one-to-one counselling, complementary therapies and all the support our trained staff can bring. After assessment the Beechwood programme aims to address the needs of the individual. Patients can then attend from 10am to 3.30pm one day per week for 12 weeks or at times they feel most comfortable with.
There are 4 main elements to the programme. All four elements are important and are designed to complement each other. To achieve the most benefit, each patient will find it helpful to participate in them all.
