Referrals
We support patients, families and carers facing life-limiting illnesses at the Hospice and in the community. Find out how to be referred to our specialist services.
There are multiple ways we can support patients and their loved ones, through a range of free services. GPs and other healthcare professionals can refer those suitable for our care using our professional referral form, which can be largely auto-completed through the communications and letters tab in Ardens or SystmOne, or you can self-refer to selected services. Please visit the relevant link below for more information on how to refer or make a referral.
