Hospice at home nursing service
Our nurses work in collaboration with GPs, Macmillan nurses and District nurses.
What is the service ?
This is a new, developing service providing nursing care and support for patients and carers at home.
Currently the nurses are working with 3 GP practices in St. Albans - The Lodge Surgery, The Maltings Surgery and Parkway House Surgery and the 3 GP surgeries in Harpenden - Davenport House Surgery, The Elms Medical Practice and the Village Surgery.
Access to nursing care is available 24 per day, 7 days a week.
Who is the service for ?
The service is for patients who have specialist palliative/complex nursing needs and wish to remain at home as far as possible. The needs of the patient and family/carers are such that additional supportive care is required, including at end of life.
How do you access the service ?
Your GP's consent is required for referral.
