Professionals

Information for professionals

We work closely with other healthcare professionals involved in our patients’ care. Our knowledge and skills are shared with GPs, District Nurses, care homes and other health and social care professionals through multidisciplinary working and formal education programmes. This allows our expertise to benefit those who do not access hospice services directly.
