Welcome to Brian House Children’s Hospice
Caring for local children with life threatening or life limiting conditions.
Brian
House forms an integral part of Trinity Palliative Care Services, caring
for children with life - limiting or life threatening conditions and
their families, but is just one of the services developed out of the
original hospice adult in patient unit opened in 1985.
Trinity Palliative Care Services offers a full and comprehensive range of palliative care to all residents of the Fylde, supported by Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Primary Care Trusts in partnership with the local community.
Services include both adult and children in patient units, a Day Therapy Unit catering for up to 15 patients a day, on a day a week basis. The Palliative Care Team formerly known as Hospice at Home, is a team of 9 clinical nurse specialists caring and supporting patients in their own homes and patients in Victoria Hospital.
Other services include Lymphoedema specialist clinics for patients with malignant and non malignant disease. Complementary Therapy Services for both patients and their carers. A bereavement service to all families suffering loss and bereavement of a Trinity patient.
As well as the Education/Research Centre, Trinity being a satellite unit of the Post Graduate School of Medicine and Health at the University of Central Lancashire. The Linden Centre offers Information and Support service with Counselling to both adults and children and young people.
In order to give our patients the highest standard of care they need, the hospice has to raise considerable sums of money each year from voluntary sources. Patients and staff are most appreciative of the support they receive from the community to enable the services to continue and expand.
