Care in Great Yarmouth & Waveney

Since 2019, St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice has been providing specialist palliative care services to nearly 5,000 patients and families in the Great Yarmouth & Waveney area, in partnership with East Coast Community Healthcare (ECCH).

We have 6 palliative care beds at Beccles Hospital, providing specialist consultant and general medical support for patients. However, 70% of our care is actually provided in people’s homes or other settings in the community. We support local care homes and our medical team provides specialist palliative care support at James Paget University Hospitals.

Gorleston Community Hospice Plans

St Elizabeth Hospice has submitted a planning application to develop a community hospice facility in Gorleston.

This will provide enhanced palliative care services for the Great Yarmouth and Waveney communities, ensuring local people receive the care they need closer to home.
