Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust Specialist Palliative Care Service

We provide the community SPC service for North Worcestershire and Tenbury, and also a 6 bedded Specialist inpatient unit “The Primrose unit” within the Princess of Wales Community Hospital in Bromsgrove.

We see patients with progressive, life limiting illnesses who have physical, psychological or social needs which their current care providers are struggling to optimise at the times when this is most needed.

We work closely with our Hospice and acute Trust partners.

Community SPC Team

The team comprises Clinical Nurse Specialists, a clinical psychologist, and Consultants in Palliative Medicine. We see patients registered with a Wyre Forest, Redditch and Bromsgrove, or Tenbury GP, usually in their own homes, but also as outpatients or remotely via video or telephone.
