St John’s community palliative care
The Doncaster St John’s Community Specialist Palliative Care team offers specialist advice and support to patients and families or carers in their own home and in our outpatients clinic.
How we can help
The Doncaster community specialist palliative care nurse will discuss the best way that they can support patients and their family or carers.
Our role is to provide complex specialist palliative care symptom management and advice to patients and families in their own home, to support them in living with life limiting illness.
For additional information, please visit the St Johns hospice community palliative care service website (opens in new window).
How to get help
Referral should be with your consent by the current health care professional looking after your care and made where:
- the district nurses and the GP have attempted to manage the symptoms and have decided you may benefit from specialist support
- you have been discharged from the hospital, or the hospice with known complex symptoms that have required the help of the specialist palliative care team during your inpatient stay
- attempts have been made by generalist staff, for example, at outpatient clinic, to manage symptoms before referral to the Specialist Palliative Care team
