How is a patient referred to St Luke's?
- Any healthcareor social work professional may refer a patient to St Luke's. We do, however, have to consider specific clinical criteria before we can accept a patient.
- Patients normally need to live within our catchment area and be 18 years or older
- Patients need to have illnesses that are no longer curable
These illnesses need to be in an advanced state with patients needing specialist help in order to get satisfactory symptom relief, ie they either have less than a year to live, or are suffering from complicated and often multiple symptoms.
We are always open to offer advice to patients or families unsure how to access Hospice Care whether at home, hospital or in our building.
