How we can help in Scotland
Find out about the range of services and support that could be available to you and those close to you across Scotland.
Our friendly and welcoming hospices in Glasgow and Edinburgh help people living with any terminal illness or approaching the end of life, and the people close to them, receive the care and support they need.
Our hospices aren’t only about managing symptoms and treating your illness — they’re about helping you to live the best life possible, for as long as you can.
Our nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare professionals in Scotland bring the clinical, practical and emotional help you need to you, in the comfort of your own home. And we offer support to the people close to you too — from reassurance and practical information to letting them take a break.
Our Hospice Care at Home service is available in many areas across Scotland.
Whether you're ill or looking after someone who is, you know that symptoms can change at any time, day or night. Terminal illness doesn't adhere to a schedule, so neither should the care you get. Urgent hospice care at home provides responsive overnight nursing care, should you need it.
Our Urgent Hospice Care at Home service is available in Lothian, Fife and Dumfries and Galloway.
Companion volunteers in Scotland provide practical and emotional support at home, in a care home, or in hospital. They offer free, flexible and personalised help to people at the end of life, and to their families and carers.
The Companion at Home service is available in a number of areas in Scotland.
To get referred to a Marie Curie service directly, contact your GP, district nurse or hospital team.
Get in touch with our local coordination centre to learn about services in your area and how we may be able to help (open 24 hours a day, seven days a week).
Connect with our online community to get support from other people affected by terminal illness, including those who are bereaved. It’s a space for you to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences with others from the comfort of your own home.
