Nottinghamshire Hospice

Updated 10 January 2025

Nottinghamshire hospice provides care and treatment to people over the age of 18 with life limiting conditions who require specialist palliative care by the hospice at home service, who work in conjunction with the district nurse service.

Additionally, the hospice provides a patient and care giver wellbeing service to enable people with life limiting conditions to live independently in their own homes and in the community. This service provides education and information to empower people, their loved ones and care givers to engage in difficult conversations about death and dying and advanced care planning.

There are peer support sessions, nurse led face to face and telephone support, alternative therapies, counselling services, and a range of small group activities.
