North West Hospice provides palliative care for people with life-limiting illnesses across settings, including home, nursing homes, hospitals, and its eight-bed inpatient unit. Based in Sligo, Ireland, the organization aims to improve quality of life for patients and their families by addressing physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs through a multidisciplinary team that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and chaplains. Its inpatient unit has three single rooms and a five-bed area, with volunteer services supporting symptom control and end-of-life care. The Community Palliative Care Team visits patients at home, in community hospitals, or nursing homes and coordinates with public health nurses and the patient's GP, while the Hospital Palliative Care Team at Sligo University Hospital provides support to hospital staff and seeks to maintain a seamless flow of care between hospital, hospice, and community services; in 2025, North West Hospice was announced as the official charity partner for the 2026 Cowboys and Heroes Country Music Festival in Ballinamore, reflecting its ongoing community involvement.
