At Birmingham Hospice, we provide care wherever and whenever it is needed. That might be in your own home, in the community, or at our Selly Park and Erdington sites.

Our services support you at different stages in your journey, and each one is tailored to meet your needs. All of our services are free of charge. Our colleagues provide expert care directly and also partner with other healthcare professionals to ensure care is coordinated for each person.

Many people benefit from our services, and we have around 670 patients in our care on average across our services at any one time.

We are committed to improving the quality of life for people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as supporting their families and loved ones during one of the most challenging periods they will face.

Our Inpatient Units

Our Inpatient Units (IPUs) at Selly Park and Erdington are available when you need intensive symptom management, emotional or social crisis support, or care for the last days of life.

Community Palliative Care

Our Specialist Community Palliative Care Team will work alongside your GP, district nurse and anyone else involved in your care, to ensure you’re fully supported during your time with Birmingham Hospice.

Hospice at Home

If you choose to be at home for your final days, we will work alongside your GP and district nurses to make sure you are as comfortable as you can be.

Therapies

Our team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Therapy Support Workers will work with you in our Inpatient Units, Living Well Centres or your own home to promote and support your independence.

Living Well Centres

Our Living Well Centres are a place to meet others in a similar situation to you and receive support together. You’ll learn how to cope with symptoms, take part in therapeutic activities and set realistic goals.

Wellbeing

We have a team of Counsellors, Spiritual Carers, Therapists and Bereavement Volunteers whose focus is on supporting you and your loved ones emotionally and spiritually.

Help to shape care at Birmingham Hospice

Join our Patients and Carers Forum

Would you like to help shape the patient experience at Birmingham Hospice? Our Patient and Carer Forum meets three times a year at one of the hospice sites, for members to discuss all aspects of the patient experience here, and any changes or improvements that could be made.

If you are currently being supported by the hospice, or if you are a relative or carer of someone who is, or has been in the past, we would be delighted to hear your views.

If you would like to take part, or for more information, please contact our Head of Clinical Services Kerry Millard on patientforums@birminghamhospice.org.uk.
