Information for Healthcare Professionals

The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice aims to meet the palliative care needs of individuals who have been referred to us with a progressive life threatening illness, usually cancer, and who reside primarily in the Southside of Glasgow. The Hospice Palliative Care Team provides a link between hospice, community and hospital. This facilitates optimum symptom control as well as psychosocial and spiritual support to allow patients to maximise their potential.

The Laurieston Team

The core team consists of a consultant in palliative medicine, an associate specialist in palliative medicine, and eight clinical nurse specialists. The extended team includes the chaplain, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a community pharmacist and access to other AHPs on referral.

The Laurieston Team aims to support those providing care by complementing existing services with an appropriate level of intervention. The service has a sound evidence base and operates within QIS requirements.
