  • Hello Bellally

    I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum's condition is deteriorating.

    Please do get in touch with the GP or the palliative care service if you have a contact for them. Give them a call tomorrow morning and explain the situation. Ask for a home visit as soon as possible so that Mum's condition can be assessed and relevant support can be put in place for you both. 

    If you're at all worried about your Mum outside of normal GP hours, don't forget that you can call NHS 111 for advice and support. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
