Since the opening of the Hospice units at
Bantry General Hospital, Bantry
Hospice has provided great support and comfort to many
families throughout the West Cork area. The units were specifically
designed as self-contained apartments within the hospital complex to
include a kitchen area and sleeping area for the family and relatives
of the patient. The units also allow for discreet access through the
back of the hospital at any time of the day and night rather than
having to adhere to hospital hours.
In addition the Bantry Hospice Project also support the
palliative care team in west Cork with:
- Home care equipment
- Training
- Home sitting services
- Night nurse support
The Bantry Hospice Project also support the
Palliative Social Workers in West Cork. The Bantry Hospice Project also
look at individual cases. In one situation recently a young child under
the age of 10 years of age was discharged from a hospital where her
left lower limb was amputated in order to slow down the progression of
her illness, it was highlighted by the team in the hospital that the
patient would experience tremendous relief from aromatherapy.
Unfortunately the hospital were not in a
position to fund this type of service and in this particular case the Bantry Hospice Project agreed to
fund a number of sessions for the patient which provided her with some
relief as she dealt with her illness in a brave and dignified
manner.

Course
This year sees the course revert back to being mainly on the main
Bantry-Glengarriff road. Starting in Glengarriff, the course heads
along the main road from Glengarriff towards Bantry, turning off the
main road at Ballylickey, before turning back to Bantry at Pearson's
Bridge, rejoining the Bantry-Glengarriff road at approx. 10.5 miles. There is plenty of scenery along the route, with fine
views of Bantry Bay, local rivers and lots of flora & fauna.
The course has been measured by John Quigley, AIMS/IAAF Grade 'B'
Measurer, and is marked in miles.
