Referrals
The Trust accepts referrals for children and young people who have a life limiting or life threatening condition and require palliative care and support from across Hampshire.
For children their condition would suggest they are unlikely to live to adulthood and there are additional criteria to support the decision for acceptance for conditions such as Retts, Cerebral Palsy and Cancer. Each child and young person is assessed and medical information gained from the child’s or young person’s consultant. As part of the process the information is then discussed at our clinical committee – this can take a few weeks. However we also accept referrals for end of life care for children and young people who have not been previously known to us and we are able to ‘fast track’ these referrals to ensure families can visit as soon as possible.
