Supporting you at home
We are a specialist team of healthcare professionals working in the community – including nurses and doctors, alongside Patient and Family Services which includes social workers. These professionals are employed by North London Hospice. We also offer physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Our work complements that of GPs, district nurses, social services and hospital teams.
We also offer expert support and advice to a patient’s family and carers as well as other health professionals.
Community Nurse Specialists
Our specialist team of community nurses are experts in palliative care. They visit patients in their own homes (or wherever the patient is residing within the local community) and are responsible for carrying out assessments of patients referred to North London Hospice who have been triaged as appropriate for our services.
Palliative care support service
Our Palliative Care Support Service (PCSS) can provide short-term hands-on care at home by specially trained nurses and health care assistants. We want to meet the needs of all patients but sometimes need to prioritise.
