Hospice at Home (H@H) is part of HospiceCare North Northumberland; a small charity based in Alnwick. H@H provides care and support to patients at the end of life across our clinical catchment area.

 

Care provision is led by our team of experienced Registered Nurses, and provided by our Hospice Support workers. Care and support are designed to meet the needs of the patients at the end of life, and their families, through regular daily visits or calls that are more ad hoc in nature. In addition, we offer respite night shifts where appropriate.

 

H@H Registered Nurses attend all the local MDTs across the region. In addition, we work closely with GP practices, District Nurse Teams, and Palliative Care to ensure continuity of care and timely responses for patients and their families as situations change.

 

Referral Criteria - Patients must be:

 

• Registered with local GP.

• Referred in by Health Care Professional (GP, Palliative Care Team. District Nurses, Hospital Discharge Team)

• On the Palliative Care Register

• Over 18 years of age

• Resident in North Northumberland.
