To access hospice services you need to be referred by your GP or Specialist Doctor. Patients can be referred when they have reached a palliative stage in their illness – where the focus of treatment is on symptom control, comfort and quality of life rather than cure.
How does it benefit the patient?
- Your pain is managed and symptoms controlled

- You get personalised care
How does it benefit family and friends?
- You feel part of the team caring for the patient
- Your needs as a carer and individual are supported
- You have access to bereavement and counseling services
If you think you or a loved one could benefit from our service, please speak to your doctor about a referral.
