St Joseph's Hospice

Bereavement Service
St Joseph's Hospice provides bereavement support and counselling for Bereaved family and friends, including children, of people who have been cared for by St Joseph's, whether in the hospice, at home, or by other hospices.

Adults (18+) who live in the City and Hackney, or are registered with a City or Hackney GP can access this service if they have experienced a bereavement that was not connected to St Joseph's or who are anticipating the death of a close friend or relative from an advanced, terminal illness.

St Joseph's Hospice is also offering support to children, young people and families who have lost a family member, care giver or other significant person due to COVID-19. This support is free and available to children and young people up to the age of 18 who either live in the City, or who are registered with a City of London or Hackney GP.

Community Palliative Care Team
St Joseph’s Hospice Community Palliative Care Team of specialist doctors, nurses, social workers and skilled staff and volunteers provides pain control and symptom relief for those whose illness cannot be cured.

We assess patients as individuals with regard to their physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs and treat them in their homes or at our hospice in Hackney.

In-patients at St Joseph’s enjoy some of the most modern facilities in Europe, which have been designed to accommodate the diverse needs of the many communities we serve. The support we give compliments that provided by the Primary Health Care Teams, hospitals and other agencies.

Our services are sensitive to the needs of carers.
