  2. Facts • Charlton Farm and Little bridge House provide hospice care for life limited children and their families across the South West. • The whole family can stay and there are Sibling support workers. • Support extends to the whole family through bereavement and beyond if need be.

  3. Charlton Farm • Set in the countryside just outside Bristol • Has 8 rooms plus accommodation for familiy. • Sensory room and Jacuzzi • Games room, Music Room and Teenage room • Garden

  4. What I gained • Learnt how hospices work (wiped the stereotype). • Worked with many disabled children and talked to the families. • Grew confidence with gastrostomies and hoists. • Had fun!!

  5. Challenges • Getting used to the travelling in doing short shifts. • I experienced a child dying therefore a grieving family. This was very hard as it was my first experience. • Getting used to the environment of working, very different to clinical practice.

  6. As much as I did enjoy it, it is a challenging placement and may also be quite sad, however it was a valuable experience and I am so glad I did it. Contact details: Charlton Farm Charlton Drive Wraxall Bristol, BS48 1PE Tel: 01275 866601 Manager: Nicola Orchard
