Referrals to Hospice in the Weald can be made by any healthcare professional involved in a person’s care. We support people with advanced cancer and other advanced progressive and life limiting non malignant conditions where the complexity of their illness would benefit from a hospice multidisciplinary team. This may include specialist symptom management, psychological support, social support and spiritual care for the person and those close to them. Referrals can be made at any point in a person’s illness.
You can submit a referral by calling 01892 820 515 or by completing our online referral form. Please ensure all fields are completed, as incomplete forms will need to be returned.
Referrals should only be made with the patient’s consent and with their understanding that their medical record will be viewed by the relevant team. If the patient is unable to provide consent due to capacity or condition, consent should be provided by the person holding a Health and Welfare LPA, or by the responsible healthcare professional acting in the patient’s Best Interest and providing details of any Best Interest Meeting.
Alongside making a referral, you may find it helpful to explore the wider support available across Hospice in the Weald. Our multidisciplinary teams provide personalised care through inpatient wards, Hospice Outreach in people’s homes, Living Well programmes, counselling, chaplaincy and bereavement support. We offer specialist palliative care to help manage pain and symptoms, as well as emotional, social and spiritual support for patients and those important to them.
Visit our Help Hub and find clear, practical information you can share with patients and families, including guidance to help them understand their symptoms, manage day to day challenges and plan for what may come next.
