About the Hospice
St Andrews Hospice provide specialist palliative care to people living with life-limiting illnesses.
Central to our ethos and mission is to provide support not only for our patients, but also for their loved ones and carers too.
Our goal is to provide physical, psychological, social and spiritual care for our patients in a calm, peaceful and welcoming environment.
St Andrew’s Hospice is a registered charity and our services are provided free of charge to the adult population of Lanarkshire, without distinction of race, gender or creed.
As a specialist palliative care hospice, we provide multidisciplinary support for patients, families and carers in the following areas:
18 Inpatient Specialist Palliative Care beds
Outpatient & Wellbeing services
Grief & Bereavement Support Services
Consultant Led Medical Team
Whilst we receive funding from NHS Lanarkshire, this only partially covers our running costs.
Continued provision of these services is only made possible by the generosity and assistance of the people of Lanarkshire.
St Andrew’s Hospice became a limited registered charity (OSCR) (Charity No: SC010159) in April 2006, having previously been an unincorporated association. St Andrew’ Hospice is a healthcare facility founded by the Religious Sisters of Charity.
