King Charles opens the Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norwich. The state-of-the-art palliative care unit has been specially designed to allow patients to enjoy the surrounding landscape, working in partnership with Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust. His Majesty spends time with patients receiving end-of-life care, alongside their families, as well as meeting the volunteers, nurses and other NHS staff based at the Hospice. Report by Covellm.
