Chief Information Officer

We deliver free, high-quality, compassionate care and support to terminally ill patients, their family and carers. We deliver care that is special and unique to each individual. • All of our services are provided free to adult patients and their families. • The care we provide is tailored to the needs of each patient. • We help people living with cancer and other terminal illnesses. • Our services are provided by a team of dedicated health and social care professionals. • Care is provided both at the Hospice and in patients' own homes. • 90p of every £1 received goes towards patient care. • Our 300 staff are helped by over 1,000 volunteers. • We have 25 charity shops located throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. • Over 21,000 people play our weekly LOROS Lottery. • We work in partnership with higher and further education providers to supply education, training and support to over 1,000 health and social care professionals every year. • Research is a key part of our work. Our care is based on the latest research, with our research programme directed at improving care for patients, their families and carers. • LOROS works collaboratively with other local health and social care providers to benefit patient care. We also work closely with those responsible for commissioning health care across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. • It costs us £7.5 million each year to be able to deliver our services. The NHS does give us some money, but we still need to raise at least £4.5 million each year from our local community.

We will move mountains to help you live life as fully as you can. And we don’t stop there. We’re going all out to find ever better ways to help people with cancer, helping to bring forward the day when everyone gets life-transforming support from day one.
