Support services for families and carers

As well as clinical care for our patients, we support the people important to them such as their biological or chosen family and carers.

The Family Support Team offers a choice between face-to-face or remote support over the telephone and via video calls.

To refer into the St Richard’s Family Support services, please call the Family Support and Bereavement Referral Line Monday to Thursday, 10am to 2pm, via the main hospice number 01905 763963. 

When the phone line is closed, referrals can be made online.
