Referrals in our catchment area
We aim to make it as simple as possible for someone to make a self-referral. Self-referrals can be made by an individual, their family, carer or loved one.
We welcome self-referrals for adults with a life-limiting condition, living in our catchment area. We help oversee specialist palliative care and give advice on pain and symptom control. For example, if you are currently receiving palliative care under your local GP or district nurse, we may be able to support you.
If you are not sure, you may wish to have a conversation with your GP about whether you could be referred to our services.
For urgent medical advice, please contact our specialist advice line on 01708 758643.
