Ana Da Silva Vicente, a Sister on our inpatient Unit and our Armed Forces Service Champion, explores how asking about military service supports Martlets’ person-centred approach to palliative care. 

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.
