About Us

Here to bring dedicated specialist care to patients and their families across Buckinghamshire and its borders

About Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity

Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity is here for patients with life-limiting illnesses, and their families, across Buckinghamshire and its borders. 

We enhance and complement the care and support delivered by Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust to ensure patients, families and carers get the individual clinical, practical and emotional support they need to make the most of every day they have together.

Since the opening of Florence Nightingale Hospice in 1989, many thousands of patients and families have benefitted from specialist hospice care.  The Hospice remains the only bedded unit in Buckinghamshire for respite and end of life care and services have evolved over the years with much of our care now also offered in the community.

All services are provided free of charge to patients and their families – this is only possible thanks to the continued support and fundraising efforts of so many individuals and businesses.
