In NW London we have eight community-based specialist palliative care providers delivering services. These include seven hospices with inpatient units, as well as separate community-based specialist palliative care teams and nursing services provided by community NHS trusts. The providers deliver a wide range of services across them (including inpatient and community-based specialist palliative care nursing, day hospice, Hospice@Home, outpatient services, well-being services and bereavement services, 24/7 specialist advice, rapid response and overnight nursing services) as well as some additional services (including lymphedema and complementary therapies). Three providers – Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust – receive all their funding from the NHS. The other five providers are charitable hospices and receive their funding from a combination of NHS and charitable income.
