Marie Curie Cancer Care
Marie Curie Cancer Care is delighted to have been chosen by Making Music as the charity they would like to support through their musical efforts.
Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families.
A Marie Curie Nurse provides specific care, such as giving medications and treatments and monitoring their effectiveness. Because the Marie Curie Nurse is in the home for several hours at a time, she can give the patient's regular carer (usually family members) the chance to take a break from caring to rest, go shopping, keep in touch with the outside world, or simply get a good night's sleep. Carers also benefit from the opportunity to
discuss their worries and fears with someone who has time to listen.
This service is provided free of charge, 365 days of the year and 24 hours a day. A Marie Curie Nurse is requested into a patient's home via the District Nurse or a GP referral. Marie Curie Nurses tend to be requested at the latter stage of the cancer journey.
