This page is reserved for personal accounts of experiences involving the Margaret Centre palliative care unit at Whipps Cross Hospital for patients who are coming to the end of their life or have a life-limiting disease. They are personal accounts in video, audio or written format that people have agreed to allow us to display on this website and share with the general public, expressing their appreciation of the outstanding work that the Centre does for patients in this category and their friends and families.

If you would like to make a contribution yourself please contact sirat@davidgardiner.net in the first instance. If you would prefer that your contribution, whether written, video or sound recording, does not appear on the website please say so.

If sound or video files are too big to travel as attachments, which they often will be, we can talk you through other ways of sending them in.
