Your New Hospice Is Now Open! 

We are delighted to have started welcoming patients, families and carers into your amazing new Hospice, which has been designed for comfort, dignity and modern clinical excellence. 

The expert end of life care, support and understanding that we provide our patients and their families is so important, and the new Hospice marks the beginning of a transformative chapter in the way we do this. This incredible new building will enable us to increase the number of people we support to 3,000 a year by 2040. 

While the Hospice was being constructed, we cared for our inpatients at a temporary facility in Camberley, but now they have all been welcomed into the bespoke In-Patient Unit (IPU) in the new Hospice. The Hospice has 18 inpatient rooms, all ensuite and with facilities for loved ones to stay overnight, and a comfortable family room so children and extended families can be close. Each inpatient room also opens out onto its own courtyard garden area, with space for beds to be wheeled outside if patients so wish.  

The Hospice also includes a wellbeing and rehabilitation centre, where our Living Well team will support people earlier in their illness, helping them to manage their symptoms and live life as fully and independently as possible. During the Hospice construction, our Living Well sessions have been held solely at the Beacon Centre in Guildford, but in the coming weeks they will move to the Hospice too, and run at both sites. The wellbeing and rehabilitation centre also opens out onto gardens, enabling patients to benefit from connecting with nature. A welcoming café makes the Hospice a warm, friendly, sociable place, and multiple clinical and consulting rooms enable staff to provide outpatient care. 

Your new Hospice will enable our compassionate teams to manage patients’ symptoms, ease their pain, support their emotional and practical needs, and make care easier to understand and navigate for them and their loved ones. We are here not only at the end of life, but earlier too, helping people to live as well as possible for as long as possible. As more people need our vital care, our ambition is to reach further, support earlier, and help more people get the care they need – and this new Hospice will enable us to do that.
