End of life beds available at Leasowes Community hospital

April 20, 2020

If you have a patient you are caring for who you think maybe in the last weeks of their life please consider accessing one of our 20 beds at Leasowes community hospital in Smethwick, part of SWBH. We take people who would prefer not to be in an acute hospital who want a more peaceful environment. This is a long established service expanded from 2 beds to 20 due to the pandemic.

Our workforce of established qualified nurses, healthcare assistants and doctors is supported by the Connected Palliative Care team. We admit people who are dying of both Covid and non-Covid related illnesses. We focus on maximising quality of life and symptom control and minimise un-helpful interventions aiming for a homely environment with limited visiting supported.

To discuss admissions please call Connected Palliative Care on ext. 3611.
