How hospice care works

  • Hospice care is free. Most hospices are charities, funded partly by the NHS and partly by donations.
  • Ask the GP, district nurse or hospital team for a referral. Many hospices also accept calls from families.
  • Hospices care for people with any life-limiting illness, not only cancer, and not only in the last days: many offer day services, therapies, symptom control and support for families.
  • Hospice at home teams care for people in their own homes, often working with district nurses and home care agencies.
