The J's is the only service in the local community dedicated to caring for young adults living with complex or incurable conditions.
We accept referrals on behalf of any patient aged 16 - 40 years, with complex or incurable conditions from across Essex. All referrals are considered by our multi-disciplinary team. Referrals for young people aged 38+ are taken, with a focus on partnership working with adult services to facilitate onward transition at aged 40.
Although a referral can be made direct to the hospice by a patient or carer, we do recommend that a professional involved in the patient's care make the initial contact. This way we have all the medical information needed to consider the referral.
Anyone making a referral must have the consent of the patient. For more information on how to refer to The J's, please call the Clinical Team in confidence on 01245 475474 (option 1) or to make a referral directly to the hospice, please click here.
