INPATIENT UNIT (IPU)

In the friendly, warm and safe environment of our IPU, the team provides short-term care and support. We provide complex symptom control and assessment, and periods of palliative rehabilitation to patients for them to manage their illness and be discharged home. We also offer specialist care for patients who are in the final days and hours of their lives.
