Out of Hours Support

 
 
  

The nursing and medical teams at Michael Sobell House provide a 24-hour palliative care telephone support line which is available for healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, social workers, etc.,) and also for patients, relatives and friends who may have concerns or require information.
Healthcare professionals can ring at any time, night or day, 365 days of the year, and speak to a nurse or doctor about any aspect of palliative care. This may be general questions about symptom management, illness progression, pharmacological advice or specific questions about the management of patients in their care.

Patients, their family and friends are also encouraged to call as help is always at hand from friendly experienced staff. The staff are able to offer advice and guidance, whatever the nature of the call, such as wound care, symptom management (pain, nausea, constipation, etc.,) or general questions about diet for example.

Whatever the need, you are welcome to telephone and speak to any member of our medical or nursing team to help with any concerns you may be experiencing.

Such calls are audited and we are proud of the fact that many people in the community turn to us for support, advice and information.
