Who can refer to the hospice?
Referrals are usually made by an individual's GP, Community or Hospital Macmillan Nurse or Senior District Nurse. They will ensure all palliative care options have been considered and discussed with the individual before deciding whether the hospice is the best place for them to receive their care.
If you think you, your loved one, or someone in your care could benefit from our support, please speak to your GP, Macmillan or District Nurse.
Alternatively, telephone the South Bedfordshire Palliative Care Advice Line for further help and information:
