Watford MP Dean Russell visited Rennie Grove Peace Hospice to hear about the "incredible" care they give as part of Hospice Care Week.
He visited yesterday (October 10) to shadow the roles of staff and volunteers at the hospice in Cassiobury Drive, Watford.
The week runs from October 9 to 15 and has been organised by the charity Hospice UK under the theme “We are Hospice Care".
He said: “Shadowing the incredible hospice care workers at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice in Watford has once again been a very special experience. I enjoyed taking part in the physio and art classes with outpatients and volunteers.

“Witnessing the outstanding and compassionate work that takes place daily, providing unwavering support to patients and their families, is truly humbling.”
This year's theme highlights the vast range of people who help run a hospice and look after people in their care and their families.
Toby Porter, CEO of Hospice UK, said: “We are delighted that many MPs are joining their local hospice team for a day, experiencing first-hand what it is like to work or volunteer in such a vital service.”
