Sue Ryder Care - Leckhampton Court Hospice supports people with cancer and other potentially life limiting conditions.

We aim to meet the needs of the whole person, their family and carers, with the support and expertise of our multi-professional specialist palliative care team. Patients are referred to us for the following reasons:

  • Unresolved symptoms, physical, psychological, social or spiritual issues that cannot be managed adequately in other settings requiring specialist intervention from a multidisciplinary team.
  • Complex palliative care needs which require reassessment and rehabilitation
  • Complex needs, where the patient requires End of Life Care.

We will work in partnership with the primary health care team to support patients to be cared for in their own homes and offer a range of specialist palliative care services.

Our Hospice at Home Service is a flexible and responsive service aiming to compliment existing health and social care services and support patients to remain in their own homes for as long as possible
