Welcome to

Hospice In The Weald

We provide specialist palliative care advice and clinical support for people with life limiting illness, their family and the bereaved. Our Hospice is based in Pembury and serves a community of approximately 300,000 over an area of 400 square miles of West Kent and East Sussex.

Established since 1980, Hospice In The Weald comprises a 17 bed In-Patient Unit and a Day Therapy Centre offering a range of treatments, complementary therapies and clinics. A team of Community Nurse Specialists provide 24 hour advice and support to the local community and all nursing and medical services are backed up with family support, bereavement counselling, spiritual care and a health information service. All our services and activities are supported by a skilled and dedicated team of volunteers.

No charge is made for the services, which are provided on the basis of need rather than ability to pay. Hospice In The Weald is a charity, dependent on the community to fund its essential work - our Government funding is only around half that afforded to other adult hospices.

As a teaching Hospice we provide many courses and training sessions for health care professionals including Diploma courses in Palliative Care - approved by the London & KSS Deanery for the postgraduate training of doctors.
