Coronavirus (COVID-19): Tuesday 17th March 20 Update

 

Tuesday 17th March 2020 update: 

In line with other health organisations Woodlands Hospice is implementing additional measures  to minimise the risk to our patients, visitors, volunteers and staff.

We continue to limit face-to-face contact for our outpatients and those attending group sessions but we will contact all patients personally by telephone to talk through their concerns.

Please be assured that we remain committed to ensuring patients will still have access to medical help or assistance where necessary.

If you are a patient with concerns about your personal situation, call our Wellbeing and Support Centre on 07816 219 227 to speak to your nurse or care provider. All other enquiries should be directed to Woodlands Hospice reception on 0151 529 2299.
