Project Information

Providing enough end of life care for people in our community.

The new Hospice, will be larger and better equipped than the old Hospice it replaces, which was sadly no longer fit-for-purpose.

 

It will offer people across Surrey and Hampshire a range of inpatient, Hospice at Home and outpatient facilities, in which they, their loved ones, neighbours and colleagues, will be able to receive exceptional, specialist and tailored care.

In our new treatment rooms patients will be able to meet with our consultants and receive treatments from our specialist clinicians. Our new fully equipped exercise and rehabilitation suite will help people cope with their physical symptoms and our large new therapy suite will house group sessions and therapies, to help support mental health and improve wellbeing. From the new comfy counselling rooms, we will provide specialist counselling to patients and local families, supporting them through their grief and bereavement. 

The new family room will provide a haven for the many young people and children that visit us, and our new café will be a social space for patients, carers and visitors alike.

From the flagship Education Suite our palliative care experts will train local GPs, care home staff and ambulances teams. Our offices will be the base for our specialist community teams, who will support people to have the most dignified, peaceful and pain-free deaths in their own homes. 

Last but by no means least, the new Hospice will house a specialist bedded unit for those with the most intensive medical and nursing needs, every spacious individual bedroom will open onto a private garden area, and there will be facilities for loved ones to stay overnight.

Time Scales 

We are working at a pace to deliver this urgently needed facility as soon as possible. Having secured planning permission and having bade farewell to our old Hospice building in 2023, the main building works for the new Hospice commenced in Spring 2024. They will be completed at the beginning of 2026, when the new Hospice will reopen.  

Whilst we are building the new Hospice, we continue to offer people in our community our full range of  services. These are being operated from a variety of locations in Surrey and Hampshire.
