Can I still ask to be admitted to St Raphael’s Hospice Inpatient Unit (IPU) if my symptoms can’t be managed at home or if I am reaching the end of my life? We will continue to admit patients to our IPU until Sunday 11th July. However, we are unable to care for you at the hospice from 19th July for a number of weeks due to building and improvement works. This means that we will need to discharge you to a different care setting by this date if you are still staying on our IPU. Manage Cookie Preferences
