At our Wellbeing Centre, you can receive specialist nursing and medical care, benefit from treatments and therapies, meet with our social workers and take part in workshops and activities.
The St John's Hospice Wellbeing Centre reflects our belief that hospice care is holistic and supports you at all stages of your illness. By attending the Centre, we hope to optimise your quality of life and enhance your overall wellbeing. We also provide support and care to the people who are important in your life.
The care we provide is tailored to meet your individual goals and needs. We aim to ensure that you are supported physically, emotionally, spiritually, and practically. To do this, our multi-disciplinary team works alongside other professionals involved in your care, such as your GP, district nurse, social services, and hospital specialists.
Make a referralOnce you are referred to the Centre, you will have an assessment to help us identify your needs and how we can best support you. At our Centre, you can access:
The Wellbeing Centre is a bright, modern and airy space. Its multifunctional purpose means it can be divided into smaller rooms for different activities. You will initially be offered one day per week to attend; this will be agreed when you come in. We can have some flexibility if you do need to change your day.
The Centre has two separate complementary therapy rooms where we offer massage, reflexology, reiki and acupuncture, as well as a multi-sensory room. Specialist nursing and medical care, including podiatry, are provided in the large clinic room. There are also other spaces available where you can meet with members of staff in private.
The Centre also has a wheelchair-accessible garden, providing a tranquil space to relax in. It is also used for outdoor exercise sessions and gardening activities. We can provide transport to the Wellbeing Centre via our ambulance service for patients with reduced mobility or access issues.
We care for people living with a life-limiting illness at different stages of their journey. Support is tailored to each individual's needs and goals, helping them live as well as possible. We assess referrals against our eligibility criteria to ensure people receive the most appropriate care and support at the right time.
All the care we provide is completely free of charge and available to people aged 18 or over living in Brent, Camden, Islington and Westminster. Sometimes, we can accept patients living outside of these boroughs within North, West and Central London.
You can access the service through a referral from your GP, hospital doctor, nurse specialist, community nurse, or any other health and social care professional already involved in your care. You cannot self-refer.
