Prospect Hospice Information

Prospect Hospice provides end-of-life care to people 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission. Care and support is tailored to the needs of the individual. Our specialist teams of nurses, doctors, therapists and family support staff provide clinical, emotional and practical support to patients and their loved ones at the hospice in Wroughton, Swindon, in people’s homes and in the community. In 2021 Prospect Hospice cared for and supported 1,928 patients and 504 carers and family members. We have a nationally accredited education and training arm that looks to raise the understanding of end-of-life care issues with healthcare professionals and works extensively with care homes across our operating area, offering a wide range of training courses. In recent years we have expanded our education offer, looking to work with other health and social care providers to meet their training needs. Prospect Hospice is a charity and provides all of its services free of charge to patients and this is made possible thanks to generous donations from our community, which raises around 70% of the £7.5million it costs each year to deliver our care. Prospect Hospice was founded in 1980 and serves a community of more than 300,000 people in Swindon and north east Wiltshire, including Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough and Pewsey, plus Lechlade and Fairford in Gloucestershire.
