Referrals to Hospice in the Weald

Support at any stage of a life‑limiting illness

Hospice in the Weald supports people living with any illness that cannot be cured and may get worse over time. This includes cancer, heart or lung disease, neurological conditions, and other progressive illnesses that affect someone’s quality of life.

People can be referred to us at any stage of their illness. Hospice care isn’t only for the final weeks of life — many people benefit from our support much earlier, sometimes from the moment they are diagnosed.

Our care can include symptom management, emotional and psychological support, Living Well activities, complementary therapies, and support for family and loved ones.

Who can make a referral?

• You can make a self-referral or one on behalf of someone provided you have their consent
• A GP or Health and Social Care Professional can make a referral to Hospice in the Weald

While a lot of referrals are through doctors, anyone can make a referral to the Hospice. Whether it is for someone you know or for yourself, do get in touch. Making a referral is easy, it can be done online or over the phone and will be handled by our Hospice Outreach Service.

You can call us on 01892 820 515 between 08:00 – 17:30

Our referral Criteria

We support people with any illness that cannot be cured and may get worse over time, not just those in the final stages of life.

Anyone living with an advanced or progressive illness – whether it’s cancer, heart failure, lung disease, neurological conditions or another condition that affects their quality of life, can be referred to our care.

If someone is finding things more difficult, whether that’s managing symptoms or coping emotionally, we can help. We also support family and loved ones every step of the way. This could be help with managing physical and psychological symptoms or emotional, practical, and spiritual support for them and their loved ones.

You can be referred at any stage of your illness, not just at the very end of life, and you don’t need a doctor or healthcare professional to make the referral; you always reach out directly to us.
