Frimley Park Hospital’s first dedicated bereavement suite has officially opened. Situated to the left of the main hospital entrance, just before reception, the suite is ‘home’ to the hospital’s bereavement team who coordinate the care of our patients after their death and support families through the bereavement process. This new suite contains an office where doctors and medical examiners can work but, most importantly, there is also a dedicated room where relatives can discuss the loss of their loved one in a private and calm setting.
