Medical Team

We have three part time consultants in palliative medicine. These are supported by two doctors in providing medical input and advice to our Community Team, Day Hospice and In-Patient Unit. In addition we have two rotating posts, a Specialist Trainee on the South London Palliative Medicine Training scheme, and a ST1/2 on the Worthing GP training scheme who provide junior medical cover to the In-Patient Unit.

Community Palliative Care Team

We have a team of Clinical Nurse Specialists in palliative care who provide advice and support to patients and healthcare professionals in primary care. They do not provide direct hands on care.

The Medical Team and Community Clinical Nurse Specialists work closely with the:

• Family services team
• Chaplain
