Information for patients and families
Guidance, reassurance and practical information to help you understand hospice care and the support available to you and those close to you.
Supporting you through every step
Whether you are being referred to the hospice, supporting someone you love, or simply looking for more information, we know this can feel like an uncertain time. This page brings together key information to help you understand what happens next, what to expect, and where you can find support.
Hospice care usually begins with a referral from a healthcare professional. A referral allows our team to understand your needs and make sure the right support is in place at the right time.
You can find out who can make a referral and how the process works.
If you or a loved one is coming to our Hospice for the first time, it’s natural to have questions. We’ve answered some of the most common questions about hospice care. You can also watch our short video introduction to see inside the Hospice.
Caring for someone can be physically and emotionally demanding. We offer a range of support for carers and families, including wellbeing services, counselling and bereavement support, and practical guidance. You don’t have to cope alone — our team is here for you too.
Learn about the range of care and support we offer for patients and families, and how our team can help you from the first diagnosis, at every step of the way.
