Referral Process

Individuals are referred to the Hospice either by their General Practitioner, community Macmillan nurses, district nurses, hospital doctors or Oncologists. It can be a frightening time and initially some people are unwilling to attend. Before making a decision, the individual and family members are welcome to come and look around St Michael's and meet the staff.

St Michael's cannot accept referrals from individuals or their families and would advise people to discuss the appropriateness of referral with their General Practitioner.

If you or your loved one has been referred to St Michael's and you would like to arrange a visit, please call The Head of Nursing's secretary, on 01432 851000.
