Professional courses and open days
We welcome health and social care professionals visiting to learn more about the care we provide and how we can work together. We also offer a variety of professional courses throughout the year.
We have six open days for professsionals at our Guildford hospice each year. The visit starts with a presentation about Shooting Star Children’s Hospices which includes the history, what services are available, referral criteria and process as well as how the service is funded. This is followed by a tour of the hospice with the opportunity to ask questions and find out more from a member of our care team.
