PATCH and Hastings Legal

Hastings Legal have worked closely with PATCH (Palliation and the Caring Hospital) for many years.

As a local, family run company we believe supporting the local communities we work in to be an integral part of what we do here at Hastings Legal.

Who are PATCH?

Many patients in hospital who have pain or complex symptoms do not have access to a palliative care specialist. PATCH is committed to changing this.

PATCH is a Scottish charity that specifically supports 24/7 specialist palliative care for patients in hospital.

Patients with the most complex needs are usually in hospital. One quarter of all admissions to an acute hospital have some palliative care needs and one third of all hospital beds are occupied by patients in their last year of life.

However, many patients in hospital who have pain or complex symptoms do not have access to a palliative care specialist.

  • Charity will writing scheme

    Hastings Legal have committed to donating our fees for writing a Basic Will* to PATCH, where PATCH is one of the beneficiaries named in your Will.

    This way everyone benefits. You get a professionally drawn-up Will and peace of mind. PATCH receive a donation from Hastings Legal right away and your legacy will provide PATCH with much-needed funding in the future for their vital work.

  • PATCH’s aim for 24/7 Specialist Care

    Most hospitals only have access to specialist palliative care for 25% of the week – namely Monday to Friday 9am–5pm.

    PATCH is the first charity specifically to support 24/7 specialist palliative care for patients in Scottish hospitals. They do this by funding hospitals to provide resources such as dedicated beds, staff training, advisory services and research.
