I'm a Health or Social Care Professional

Who can be referred?

We accept referrals from all people with advanced cancer, or any other advanced progressive and life-limiting non-malignant disease, where the complexity of the illness requires the services of a hospice multidisciplinary team to achieve control of symptoms and social, psychological and spiritual support for the person and their loved ones. This can be at any point in their disease trajectory and does not need a healthcare professional to make the referral.

You should first discuss making this referral with the person whom you are referring to make them aware.

If you are uncertain if the patient is suitable or you would prefer to speak with a member of our team, please telephone 01892 820515.

Making a referral

It's easy to refer a patient to our services - you can complete our online form or contact us directly via telephone.

At Hospice in the Weald we value the positive working relationships we have with many health and social care colleagues locally. We believe that in order to provide great Hospice palliative and end-of-life care, collaboration needs to include patients, families and both formal and informal care providers.

Common misconceptions about the Hospice

The Hospice just cares for people in the last days or weeks of life

Our Services are designed to support people in the last year of life, not just the final days or weeks. The earlier a patient can access our Services within this time, the more we are able to support them in making decisions that are right for them and their loved ones. Those who are important to them can access our Services within this time too.

You need to be referred by a Doctor or Nurse to access Hospice in the Weald care

This is not the case. Whilst you can be referred by a doctor or nurse, we also encourage people to refer themselves, or a loved one. Accessing our care is easy, a short form can be completed on our website and someone will call you back, or you can call us directly on 01892 820515, this number is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

You only help cancer patients
Hospice in the Weald is an independent charity and not linked to any other organisation. Over 50% of the patients we care for have a non-cancer terminal diagnosis. We care for patients who are terminally ill from: heart failure, lung and respiratory diseases, dementia, and motor neurone disease for example. Hospice in the Weald is leading the way in caring for more patients with other terminal illnesses and ensuring all patients have access to the care and support they need as an individual regardless of their diagnosis.
