In 1979, Heulwen Egerton, a nurse tutor at Newport’s Royal Gwent Hospital set up the ‘Gwent Hospice Project Group.’ The group was made up of like-minded individuals who were concerned at the lack of palliative care available to the people of Gwent.
From our first year of operation, caring for six patients, St. David’s Hospice Care has grown to become the UK’s largest provider of hospice at home care, caring for over 3,200 patients and families every year, at a cost over £7.9 million.
