UK's first mobile hospice

The Hospice Outreach Project, HOP for short, is a new, innovative service taking hospice services out into the community.  The service is free and you can come along without an appointment to get advice, support, counselling and access to other services that Farleigh Hospice has to offer.

The HOP will enable us to go that extra mile in provding a flexible and accessible range of services right in the heart of our community. By working closely with GPs' surgeries the HOP team will be able to offer joint appointments and provide our specialist services of symptom control, support and counselling. By liaising with local groups and parking near to village halls and other community centres we will be able to provide a social and supportive service and can point people to other available services.

At present, the HOP is out 3 days a week in the Braintree, Witham and Dunmow areas.  We expect that as the project becomes successful it will provide a blue print for new servies across the wider mid Essex area.
