What is Queenscourt and what do we do?
Queenscourt Hospice is an independent charitable organisation, and our purpose is to provide and
promote the best possible consultant led, specialist palliative care for adults within West Lancashire,
Southport and Formby, who are clinically referred, with the agreement of their doctor and for whose
clinical needs our services are appropriate. Our services are free of charge. All our charitable activities
are undertaken to further our objectives for the public benefit.
We continually consider the new and innovative approaches that will best meet the needs of our local
communities. Along with our clinical and medical colleagues, our service delivery is facilitated by a wide
range of support from other vital members of #teamqueenscourt.
Hotel Services
All our catering is provided in-house. The catering team is particularly skilled at providing tiny, tasty,
treats for those with poor appetites, liquidised and reformed food for those with swallowing difficulties
and fortified food for those who struggle with volume. The catering team also provides subsidised meals
for staff and TBEC.
We are able to provide a high-quality service responsive to individual patient needs in bright and
pleasant surroundings, including beautiful gardens, thanks to our dedicated team of volunteer
gardeners.
Our housekeeping team keep Queenscourt clean, working with the clinical team to ensure Infection
Prevention and Control Guidance is followed. We use ultraviolet technology as needed to disinfect all
clinical areas of Queenscourt Hospice.
