"Our Story"

At St Winifred's, we strive to provide excellent care and drive positive change in the care sector. Like many providers, we face significant barriers that affect our community. To improve care in Calderdale & Kirklees, we recently participated in an interview to discuss challenges in end-of-life palliative care. Our insights will be shared as a "story" to complement contributions from other partners.

These stories aim to help decision-makers understand the real-world impact of their decisions on local communities and service commissioning. This allows us to share the experiences of service users, carers, and organizations, ultimately helping commissioners improve service quality and remove barriers for both those using and providing care.

While the full interview was not used, "our Story" has been edited to highlight key points that complement other community stories. It reflects significant challenges regarding equality and quality within an underfunded palliative care system.
