About St Elizabeth Hospice
St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity providing free specialist palliative and end-of-life care across East and Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney. Based in Ipswich, it supports more than 4,000 patients and their families each year, mainly in people’s homes and community settings, alongside inpatient care in Ipswich and at Beccles Hospital.
The hospice opened in 1989. Its services include community nursing, the 24-hour OneCall advice line, Zest young adult care and LivingGrief bereavement support. Around 70% of hospice costs are raised through its own income streams and community support, with the remainder funded through NHS-commissioned services.
Learning with other hospices
St Elizabeth works with St Helena and Farleigh Hospice through the Hospice Education partnership. Health and social care professionals can access shared courses, palliative care masterclasses and bespoke training, with in-person sessions taking place at hospice locations across the East of England.
