National Read a Book Day

Blog

Reading books can provide a much-needed respite from the day-to-day strain of facing a life-limiting illness and coping with treatment, we hear from our staff and patients about how stories, reading and books help them.

Our CQC Rating

Martlets’ last CQC inspection report was published in February 2016 prior to the rebuilding and refurbishment of our hospice, therefore our CQC report shows as ‘archived’ on the CQC website. Our 2016 CQC report can be found here.

We moved back to our new Hospice building at Wayfield Avenue in November 2023 following a CQC site inspection where our hospice was declared compliant against all CQC standards. Our services have not been inspected since we moved to our new building.
