People diagnosed with an illness from which they are unlikely to recover. While the end of life may not be imminent, people can greatly benefit from hospice support, from the moment they receive their diagnosis.
Support is available for families, friends and colleagues to help them with the impact of a loved one's life-limiting illness. We are also able to support families following the death of someone cared for by North Devon Hospice.
The sooner the better. Early referrals to North Devon Hospice are vital, so support can be provided for the entire journey, from initial diagnosis and beyond.
Any health or social care professional who knows the patient or family member can make a referral. This could be a GP, district nurse, social worker, specialist nurse, consultant etc.
Referrals can be made by phone, email or SystmOne, please use the links at the top of this page.
If you want to discuss a referral with us, please contact our duty Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), who will tell you if a patient or their family is likely to benefit from our services.
