About Martlets
Martlets provides specialist palliative and end of life care to adults (over 18 years) living in Brighton and Hove and The Havens, living through a terminal illness with complex symptoms and needs.
We help people who are suffering from complex pain and/or other symptoms related to their illness, as well as provide specialist end of life care and support, specialist help with rehabilitation, psychosocial and spiritual issues, or adjustment to deteriorating function, complex advance care planning and support to those that are bereaved.
We also provide expert advice and guidance to other professionals involved in providing palliative and end of life care.
Most people receive care from us in their own homes. Others choose to spend their final days here, or to join us as inpatients for complex symptom management.
Patients and carers cannot refer to our services - we take referrals from medical professionals. The earlier we receive this referral, the more likely we can help a patient living with a terminal illness live better and longer.
