Marie Curie Nurses
Research commissioned by Marie Curie Cancer Care shows that 65% of people would choose to die at home. In reality, only 25% achieve this.
Every year, Marie Curie Nurses make that wish possible for thousands of people with terminal cancer and other illnesses across the UK.
Our nurses now care for around 50 per cent of all cancer patients who die at home. They work through the night or during the day to provide care for patients in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home.
They also provide practical and emotional support for carers and families at what can be an exhausting time. Marie Curie Nursing is always free of charge to patients and carers.

Marie Curie Hospices
We have nine Marie Curie Hospices across the UK.
Each hospice offers specialist support in a relaxed, friendly and comfortable environment and no charge is ever made to patients or their families.
We provide the largest number of hospice beds outside the NHS. Voluntary contributions, together with statutory government funding, are essential to continue providing these vital services.
