Referrals

Accessing our services and information for professional referrers

Herriot Hospice Homecare services are accessed via a referral from a healthcare professional involved in your care. Our list of services below outlines referral information and forms. Please only use these forms if you are referring a patient to Herriot.

HOME service

At Herriot Hospice Homecare, we know that often people wish to receive care and support in the place they call home, in familiar surroundings with family, friends and the things that matter to them.

Our expert healthcare assistants visit people in their own homes to provide care in various ways. This could be personal care, support with toileting, washing, mouthcare, dressing, positional changes and bedding changes, as well as supporting the patient and their family with their emotional wellbeing.

Referrals to this service must be made by a professional, and this is done over the phone by calling our colleagues at South Tees End of Life Coordination Team on (01609) 764 440, seven days a week, 8.30am-8.30pm.

Inpatient care

Once our inpatient hospice care services are operational from Herriot Hospice@The Lambert, a referral form will be available here.
