Transformation programme updates for health professionals

We’re undertaking a major transformation programme to enhance our care environments and expand services — ensuring we continue to deliver outstanding palliative and end-of-life care across Kent and East Sussex.

What this means for you and your patients

Improved clinical environments

Refurbishment of our Pembury hospice includes:

  • In‑patient ward upgrades
  • Reception and Living Well Centre enhancements
  • Dedicated spiritual care spaces

These updates will create calm, modern, and therapeutic settings for patients and families.

Expansion of Children & Young People’s Services

A new centre is being developed next to Hospice in the Weald in Five Ashes. This facility will support:

  • Creative and sensory therapies
  • Family-focused wellbeing activities
  • Specialist paediatric palliative care (launching in phases)

Continuity of care

All services remain available throughout the transformation:

  • In‑patient care will temporarily relocate to our hospice in Five Ashes
  • Counselling and support services will operate from alternate venues
  • Referral pathways and clinical advice lines remain unchanged
