Care Referrals
St Barnabas Hospice provides free, palliative care to adults aged 18 and over in Lincolnshire who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting or terminal illness.
Patients, family, friends and informal carers can refer a patient to St Barnabas by calling 0300 0200 694 once they have obtained consent from the patient to do this. If a referral is declined, this will be communicated directly back to the person who made the referral.
Calls are initially taken by the administration team who will forward the referral to the relevant team. The clinicians may need to contact you for further details.
Criteria for referral:
- Registered with a Lincolnshire GP
- Aged 18 years or over
- Diagnosed with a life-limiting or terminal illness
- Consent is given by the patient
When referring, if possible, please include a detailed account of the patient, their symptoms, the complex symptom or situation, how they are presenting, the impact of the symptoms on their life and what is currently not being managed due to these symptoms.
Please be advised that St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice have now closed all of their NHS.Net accounts and will only be using their St Barnabas Microsoft outlook accounts.
