Sue Ryder - Thorpe Hall Hospice to make temporary move to Stamford Hospital

19 December 2008

Healthcare charity Sue Ryder has recently been awarded a grant to undertake essential building works to its Peterborough based hospice, Thorpe Hall. 

The grant from the Department of Health will allow Sue Ryder to carry out essential improvements to Thorpe Hall Hospice, including a new lift.  The charity will also take the opportunity to undertake other essential repairs.  Whilst work is carried out access to the in-patient service will not be possible so the charity will be moving its clinical department and team to Stamford Hospital temporarily. 

Care services will be transferred to Stamford Hospital in January 2009.  And, in preparation for the move employees from Perkins Engines in Peterborough have been volunteering their time to help decorate the Exeter and Fryer wards at Stamford Hospital.

Allison Mann, Head of Care at Sue Ryder – Thorpe Hall Hospice, commented: “The team at Sue Ryder has been working hard to organise our move to Stamford Hospital.  We are working closely with local PCTs and our staff and volunteers – all of whom have been fantastic in helping to facilitate a smooth move.  We are also grateful to Stamford Hospital for their assistance. 

“The works to Thorpe Hall are very exciting and make this temporary move so worthwhile; a new lift is going to be a practical and welcome improvement.  The Department of Health grant is a great opportunity and whilst we have to vacate Thorpe Hall I know the whole team will pull together to ensure, as always, patient care is our top priority.”

Sue Ryder’s move to Stamford Hospital will be short-term and temporary and the team will be moving back in to Thorpe Hall as soon as possible.
