Our hospice in Belfast

Our friendly and welcoming Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast helps people living with any terminal illness or approaching the end of life, and the people close to them, receive the care and support they need. The hospice provides in-patient care, outpatient day services and holistic family support. We also offer a range of community and outpatient services, like relaxing therapies and breathlessness workshops, to anyone affected by terminal illness.

About the hospice

Hospice care at home

Our nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare professionals in Northern Ireland bring the nursing, medical and emotional help you need to you, in the comfort of your own home. We offer support to the people looking after you too – from reassurance and practical information to giving them time take a break. Our Hospice Care at Home service is available in Belfast and South Eastern Health and Social Care Trusts.

About this type of care

Urgent hospice care at home

Whether you're ill or looking after someone who is, you know that symptoms can change at any time, day or night. Terminal illness doesn't adhere to a schedule, so neither should the care you get. Urgent hospice care at home is there for you when you need it. Our Urgent Hospice Care at Home service is available across all five trust areas in Northern Ireland.

About Marie Curie Companions

Bereavement support

If you want to talk to someone following a bereavement, we’re here for you. Across Northern Ireland, we offer free bereavement support for anyone experiencing grief, whether your bereavement was expected, happened recently or was some time ago. This includes post-bereavement counselling and our bereavement café, which provides a safe space for people to find comfort and support in their shared experiences.

Support with fatigue, anxiety and breathlessness

The Fatigue, Anxiety and Breathlessness Programme helps people with progressive, life-limiting illnesses to cope better with some of their symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life. Over the five sessions, we can help you to understand the symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and breathlessness, find coping strategies that can help to manage your symptoms and achieve the best quality of life within your own limits. The programme is delivered face to face in small groups at the Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast. You can attend virtually, as long as you have access to a computer or tablet and a reliable internet connection.
