At Compton, we’re committed to providing accessible specialist palliative care and bereavement support of the highest standard, to our patients and their loved ones. 

Once a patient has been referred to us, they’re able to access all of our services, including inpatient care, care in the community, living well, emotional support and lymphoedema care. 

Catchment Areas

Our care is available to patients and their loved ones in Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell, South Staffordshire and East Shropshire, however, not all of our services are available in all catchment areas. 

Where you can access our services

Our specialist teams provide care within the community, during the day and night times, or at our inpatient unit.  

In order to be referred to us, patients will need to be living within the catchment area for the specified service and will need to be over 18 years of age. 

All referrals to Compton must be made with the knowledge and expressed consent of the patient, and they must be diagnosed with a complex, or life limiting condition to be able to access our support.  

We can also provide support for patients with complex physical, psychosocial and/or spiritual needs caused by the effects of the illness. We can also offer this support to the family members and carers of our patients.
