Our Inpatient Unit is a 16 bedded facility where patients are admitted under the care of the medical and nursing teams for symptom control, assessment and End-of-Life care.

All patients are cared for by experienced medical and nursing staff. Each patient is assigned a named nurse, whose role is to assess each patient individually and plan their care alongside the patient and their family from admission through to discharge. They will then be involved in coordinating their care after discharge whether it be to their own home or nursing home.

Anyone over the age of 18 who is living with a life-limiting or non-curable illness can access this care.

The Inpatient Unit is a short stay facility as it is essential that we are able to provide ongoing availability of specialist palliative services for as many people as possible. We are very aware of our duty to continue with this. 

Whilst being a patient on the Inpatient Unit, all patients have access to Complementary Therapies, Day Hospice, psychological support from one of our Counsellors and spiritual and pastoral care support from our Spiritual and Pastoral Care Co-ordinator.
