Building work is currently underway on a new day hospice at Barrowell Green in Enfield.
Our main aim in building a second centre of excellence is to keep patients out of hospital and at home with their families in comfortable surroundings for as long as possible.
We also want to provide care closer to those people living in the boroughs of Enfield and north Haringey as currently they have to travel to Finchley for some of their care.
The proposal currently is that we will run day services run by specialist clinicians/therapists where patients can receive medical treatments and complimentary therapies, relax, take part in therapeutic activities such as art and eat a nutritious lunch at the purpose built cafe.
We also intend to run a new outpatient clinic within this new facility where community patients will be able to see the appropriate member of our specialist medical team who will have prior and detailed knowledge of their condition.
The building will provide a much-needed purpose-built base for the Enfield community team meaning they will be able to extend their services and receive training thereby continually improving their care to patients.
In addition there will be facilities to offer training in hospice care to other healthcare professionals.
We are currently running an appeal to raise the £3.5 million needed to make this project a reality. If you would like to specifically support this project please contact our fundraising department.
Putting the roof on North London Hospice in Enfield - update November 2011
North London Hospice’s new development in Enfield is on target for an official opening in spring 2012.The new hospice building at Barrowell Green in Winchmore Hill will provide day services for patients from Barnet, Haringey and Enfield.
A significant milestone was passed in October with the completion of the all building’s internal and external brickwork. The steel frame for the roof is finished and the roofing – including an extensive roof light – has begun.
North London Hospice chief executive Douglas Bennett is pleased with the development of the new centre:
“We can see the physical building taking shape, which is looking excellent, but so much work is going behind the scenes - procurement of the windows and ‘green’ roof is underway, as well as a lift. And we’re now looking at joinery, dry-lining and internal doors.
“It’s an exciting development for North London Hospice and we’re looking forward to providing our day services from this new specialised environment.”
Construction of the new hospice’s boundary wall is underway and erection of a refuse store.
