Lakelands Day Care Hospice was set up as a direct response to the needs of local Corby people living with cancer, heart failure and other life-limiting illnesses.
As I approach my first anniversary at Lakelands, I feel incredibly grateful for the chance to work alongside such compassionate colleagues. It’s been a joy to get to know everyone and become part of this wonderful hospice family. Being here has deepened my passion for providing comfort, dignity, and care for all who attend Lakelands and it's an honor to be able to support and share in such an important stage of life with our patients.
I Joined the Lakelands team in 2010 as a Hospice at Home nurse. I now work in the day hospice as Sister and coordinate the Hospice at Home service. I have loved every minute of working in such an amazing place alongside my wonderful work family.
I joined Lakelands in 2016 and thoroughly enjoy my job. I feel extremely privileged to work alongside an experienced, dedicated team of nurses who care for patients with compassion and empathy. I continue to build on my knowledge and skills and look forward to coming into work every day.
I have been here 17yrs which I think is a testament to how much I love my job at the hospice. Being able to interact with the patients who sees us as their lifeline makes me honored to provide and care for their needs in a comfortable setting. Working with a great team of nurses, volunteers, fundraisers and other health professionals has made this job the best in the world.

I have been involved with Lakelands Hospice since 2007, initially as a volunteer, then as a patient before starting work here in 2016.
My job as Volunteer Co-Ordinator allows me to meet a lot of interesting individuals, who offer their time, commitment and skills as volunteers, and are keen to help ‘give something back’ to their local community.
It is a privilege to support these amazing individuals who are the backbone of Lakelands, and without their continued support, we could not function as an organisation.
Along with our staff team, we all work together with our volunteers to provide a safe, supportive and relaxed environment with our patients in the forefront of everything we all do.
