What is the referral criteria?
Patients may be referred to Pendleside Hospice for Inpatient Unit care, Hospice at Home support and Health, Wellbeing & Rehabilitation services, if they meet the following criteria:

Carers living in Burnley and Pendle can access our support groups if they are caring for someone with an advancing long term and life limiting illness.
How do I make a referral?
Please download and fill in the the referral form below, then email it to: pendlesidehosp.referrals@nhs.net.
Alternatively, if your referral is urgent or you are unable to download, complete and email the form to us, you can contact the Hospice directly on 01282 440 100.
It is important that the patient consents to the referral before it is completed. We may need to contact relevant health or social care professionals to obtain more clinical information.
What happens after a referral is made?
When a referral has been received, it will be discussed by the Hospice multi-disciplinary team and prioritised according to each individual need.
A member of the relevant clinical team will then make contact with the referrer and patient to discuss next steps, including seeking further information where required.
