Rennie Grove Peace launches new Coordination Centre

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care has launched a Coordination Centre to handle all new patient referrals to the charity and ensure that everybody with a life-limiting illness in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire can access the service that is right for them.

Once a patient has been referred to Rennie Grove Peace, the Coordination Centre signposts patients to the right service for them, whether they be newly diagnosed or require end-of-life care.

At the point of referral by a healthcare professional, each patient’s symptoms and circumstances are reviewed by a specialist nurse to ensure they are referred to the service that best meets their needs.

Erin Beer, Head of the Coordination Centre at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, explains: “Once a patient has been referred, they are assessed by trained professionals who are experts in understanding and assessing not only patients’ symptoms, but their circumstances too, to ensure every patient can make the most of our full range of over 40 services – whether they are newly diagnosed or need end-of-life care”

The Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care Coordination Centre is open 8am – 6pm, 7 days per week and can be contacted on 01923 606030 and Coordinationcentre@renniegrovepeace.org
