North London Hospice has opened its first ever Living Well Centre in The Mall, Wood Green. Located on the first floor of the shopping centre, neighbouring the newly opened hospice shop, the new unit will become a hub for local people with a life-limiting illness.
Bambos Charalambous MP and Mayor Ahmed Mahbub welcomed the new centre by cutting the ribbon, alongside Nurse Sachin Ramchurn and Triage Deployment Nurse Priscilla Owusu.
Wolfie Smith, Director of Patient Services and Quality at North London Hospice said: “The development of our joint retail and service delivery model offers a bold, innovative response to the challenge of expanding our services to include members of the community who traditionally have not accessed hospice services.
“We will use the space to engage with the local community to understand what they would value from the Living Well Centre, and together, using our expertise and experience, deliver a range of individual and group wellbeing services, reflecting the needs of the community.
“We hope that by bringing hospice wellbeing to the high street, we will be breaking down barriers, removing fear and anxieties associated with end-of-life care, making it more visible, approachable and accessible for everyone.”
