Domiciliary Clinical Support

St Clare Hospice supports local healthcare professionals with advice on symptom management. Enquiries to the medical and nursing teams are welcomed and domiciliary visits can be arranged when appropriate. The hospice team works alongside the West Essex Macmillan Nurses.

How to refer

Referrals are made via the patients GP or a Hospital Doctor.

Patients or family members/carers are welcome to contact the hospice directly and talk to the Senior Nurse about how to access Hospice services

Referrals are accepted on a Hospice form, which provides us with useful and necessary information about the patient. These must be filled in by the Doctor or the nurse. Forms can either be posted or faxed and a response is made within the time specified by the referrer on the form. We do not run our waiting list in chronological order but assess the individual needs of each patient.

We are pleased to admit patients Monday to Friday 0900-1700. For out of hours support, please refer to the 24-hour Advice line.

Healthcare professionals can download the form here and then fax or post it to us.
