Information for Healthcare Professionals
St Andrew’s Hospice will commence a major refurbishment of the Hospice at the beginning of 2017.
The Hospice, which celebrated its 30th birthday in 2016 is undertaking the £9 million refurbishment to to ensure we can continue to provide specialist palliative care to the people of Lanarkshire for the next 30 years.
The new design will retain the existing façade but internally will be transformed to increase the number of single bedded rooms available alongside multi-occupancy rooms. Some of the rooms will also provide space for loved ones to stay overnight and have direct access and views to the much loved gardens. In addition, a dedicated patient entrance will be created providing discreet admission to the wards.
During the refurbishment, our wards will decant to two currently unused wards at Wester Moffat Hospital in Airdrie, ensuring that the essential services provided by the Hospice to the community of Lanarkshire continue during this period.
The decant to Wester Moffat will take place in January 2017 with building work beginning on site at Henderson Street soon thereafter.
