Returning to the Hospice

Although I've worked with patients at St Christopher's beofre. I was still a little apprehensive about visiting again. Not because of a dislike for the place- actually, I may be one of the few people who seems to have no issue with the concept of death. I worry more about my own inadequacy, because I really want to do my best to enrich these patients' lives. The building was quite open plan, but it was still busy and noisy, which made it hard to concentrate, but I hope to listen to whoever I'm working with to the best of my ability. I guess one of the plus points of this kind of community project is the personal involvement with the patient (which could be considered a client in a way). The relationships I build with them will directly affect the final outcome and whether or not the project is a success, in both achieving my assessment criteria and livening up some really nice peoples' final years, months or days.
