What to expect
When we receive your referral, we will call you to arrange for one of our nurses to contact you by phone, video call or a visit.
During this conversation, we will review your medications, discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, talk to your family, friends and carers if they’re around, and make a plan for your care with you.
As a specialist palliative care service, we work closely alongside your GP, hospital team and other NHS services. We do not replace these services but we can offer advice and support to them to help them to support you. Sometimes we ask other healthcare professionals to visit you and provide care following our advice.
Our team provides 24/7 support, from managing prescriptions and coordinating medical appointments to providing personal care and emotional support, we work closely with NHS and community providers to help you stay in your preferred place of care and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.
Our 24-hour adult care advice line offers access to coordinators and qualified nurses for advice, reassurance, and personalised practical support whenever you need it.
Your care journey is unique, and at Keech Hospice, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you and your family feel supported every step of the way.
