Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast

Welcome to the Belfast hospice

We help people with an illness they’re likely to die from, and the people close to them, receive specialist care and support – for free. This includes Alzheimer’s (and other forms of dementia), heart, liver or kidney and lung disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s and advanced cancer. Whatever your illness, whoever you are, we’re with you to the end.

How does it work?

To make sure you get the right help, we start by listening to you. What matters most to you matters most to us. Our support may include:

In-patient stay

If you need specialist round-the-clock care, you can stay in our hospice as an in-patient. That might be until your symptoms have been stabilised, or you might stay for your final days.

Day procedures

You can visit our hospice to get regular, personalised care targeted to your needs. That may include procedures like blood transfusions and treatment of hypercalcaemia.

Community and outpatient services

From breathlessness workshops to relaxing therapies, we offer a wide range of wellbeing activities in the hospice to help you live the best life possible, for as long as you can.

How do I get care at this hospice?

If you or someone close to you is living with a terminal illness and would like support from Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast, please contact the healthcare professional in charge of your or your loved one's care. This might be your community palliative care team, GP, hospital consultant or district nurse.

Why can’t I refer myself?
We work in partnership with the HSC and our hospices form just one part of your overall care. To make sure all the different types of care and support you receive are working well together, it’s helpful for them to be coordinated through the healthcare professional with overall responsibility for your care.

“

Because Dad had been in the hospice a few times he knew the team and they all remembered him. It was incredible. The hospice was a lovely homely, warm environment.

It was like the staff knew what Dad needed even before he did. We felt like we could completely put our trust into them without any hesitation.
