Our In-Patient Care Programme.

St Peter and St James Hospice and Continuing Care Centre has three areas of care.

The Community Specialist Nurses advise and support Hospice patients in their homes, their district nurses and GPs. We have 3 community nurses covering a 12 mile radius including Lewes, Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath, and surrounding villages. At present we have over 100 patients on the hospice list.

The Day Care Centre, which is open four days a week provides social activities and therapies support and is registered for up to 20 patients a day. We have a team of volunteers to support the day care team either bringing in patients or helping the team with activities.

St Peter and St James Trust delivers a specialist short term palliative care and meets the longer term needs of people with complex life threatening conditions in one integrated unit comprising 26 beds. Additionally we meet the respite care for these vulnerable individuals which also enables their families to have a much needed break.

Our skilled team comprises a Consultant in specialist palliative medicine and a multi-disciplinary team of Doctors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Counsellors and a Welfare Officer. This enables us to deliver a top quality service.
