Triage

St Vincent’s Hospice cares for and supports people in Renfrewshire and the adjoining areas of North Ayrshire who are living with a life limiting illness.  We also support their carers and other loved ones.

Triage

Our Triage nurse Linzi will process new referrals for our community specialist nurse team, our supportive care clinic and our inpatient unit. Linzi will be the first person from our team to call you and in will introduce St Vincent’s Services to you.

Community referrals (From Healthcare professionals only e.g. GP or hospital team)

During the first call, Linzi will be happy to discuss what is important to you, including any symptoms or concerns you may have. She will then arrange your first in-person review with one of the team. This can be in your own home or in our Supportive Care Clinic here at St Vincent’s.

Inpatient referrals (From healthcare professionals only e.g. GP or hospital team)

Linzi will contact the referrer to discuss and ensure the patient is admitted as soon as possible if required. She will keep you up to date with the process.

Healthcare professionals: Please refer through SCI gateway (preferred) or by completing our online referral form and emailing to ggc.svh@nhs.scot.

Please call the number below for an urgent (same day) referral.

If you would like more information on our services, please call 01505 705365 (ext. 206) Monday to Friday 9am – 4pm to speak to Triage Nurse Linzi Gordon, who will be happy to help.
