From this week the Hospital Specialist Palliative Care Team will no longer provide cover over weekends or bank holidays.

Colleagues requiring advice can continue to contact the on-call Palliative Consultant via hospital switchboard. The team will endeavour to triage all urgent referrals to the service and provide advice via EPR or over the phone.

Colleagues can call the treating team if unable to review the patient in a timely manner. This will be reviewed in November 2024.
