Patients can be referred to hospice palliative services by:
- Their GP (General Practitioner) Doctor
- Hospital Doctor
- Nurse Practitioner
- District Nurse
- Medical Specialist
- Self-referral
As a community organisation, anyone – be it the patient, family member or a health professional – should feel free to contact the hospice if they are concerned that needs of someone living with a life-limiting illness are not being met.
Before referring someone for Specialist Palliative Care, it is essential you obtain their permission first.
Phone 06 753 7830 to find out more.
An assessment by a member of the Hospice palliative care team will be required upon receipt of the completed online referral.
