Even through these unprecedented times at The Norfolk Hospice we continue to grow and develop new services. We are delighted to announce we have been given a contribution towards running a Rapid Response Service through the night time hours of 10pm and 6am. 

The service aims to support any patient and family known to our palliative care service who has an urgent and unexpected care or nursing need during the night. This can be a difficult time for family members and patients who are trying to manage in their own homes and can often result in a call to 999 and an unwanted journey to A&E.

The Rapid Response Service will deploy an experienced registered nurse and palliative nursing assistant to support and manage the situation and liaise with the usual day time services for follow up the following day.

This new service will be trialled for a twelve month period, but we hope that it will be successful  and that we can continue to run it well into the future.

Thank you so much for visiting and making a donation for our Rapid Response Appeal.

Your support makes all the difference
