We offer short stay admissions to manage complex symptoms and/or care in the last days of life, and to support you, your family and those that are important to you at the time you need us most. All care is individually planned with patients and families, and we go to great lengths to ensure that your time with us is as comfortable as possible. As well as managing any physical symptoms that may be present, we make sure that we focus on you holistically, by offering support with spiritual and emotional needs as well as helping with a range of practical issues.

On admission your care will be led by one of our Palliative Care Consultants or our Nurse Consultant; they will work with the rest of the team to plan your care and help support you during your stay.

Our IPU team comprises Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, a Specialist Physiotherapist, Patient and Family Support Team, Spiritual Care Support and an Administrative Team who all work together to support you and your loved ones.

We also provide a range of complementary therapies, along with a drinks trolley where you can meet and connect with members of our wider hospice team. Our Patient Experience Team is also available to help co-ordinate services such as manicures, pedicures, special meals and the fulfilment of individual wishes.
