Princess Alice Hospice is one of the top ten adult hospices in the UK, providing specialist palliative care and support to a community of more than a million people living in Surrey, South West London and Middlesex.
The Night Response Team
Provides specialist on-call palliative nursing care between 22:00 and 08:00, 7 days a week, for palliative care patients known to Princess Alice Hospice.
The team also provides nursing care and assistance to palliative and general patients referred from district nursing services, the OOH’s service (111), local ambulance services SECAMB and LAS, Mole Valley Telecare, and Tunstall Community Alarm services. This includes palliative patients not known to PAH. Night Response visits patients at home and in care/residential homes.
A shift is usually covered by two staff members, typically one RN and an SHCA, occasionally two RNs.
Based in the hospice's in-patient unit office, we handle calls, provide information, support, and advice to patients, families, and healthcare professionals, and visit patients as needed throughout the night.
The Night Response Service delivers the skills of our specialized team directly into patients' homes, enabling patients to remain at home and reducing hospital admissions.
