Professional visits

We can arrange for healthcare professionals to visit our hospices.

If you are a professional service provider with an interest in Paediatric Palliative Care or you might just be professionally interested in what we do at Acorns, then you can arrange a visit to one of our hospices.  Our three hospices are:

• Acorns in Birmingham (situated at 103 Oak Tree Lane, Selly Oak, B29 6HZ)
• Acorns in the Black Country (Walstead Road, Walsall, WS5 4LZ)
• Acorns for the Three Counties (350 Bath Road, Worcester, WR5 3EZ)

There are various ways to arrange a visit to one of our hospices. Firstly each hospice holds a visitor’s afternoon 10 times a year where any member of the public can visit for a talk and a tour. If your interest is more specific then you can phone and talk to one of the managers about arranging a professional visit where you can discuss the interest and any professional issues you may have.  The contact numbers for each hospice are listed at the foot of this page.

Nursing: Contact the Head Nurse at the hospice you wish to visit (contact details below).

Social Work/Community support: Contact the Community Team Manager at the hospice you wish to visit.

Medical: Contact the Head of Care at the hospice you wish to visit or ask to speak to our Medical Director.

All other professionals: Contact the Head of Care at the hospice you would like to visit.

Acorns occasionally hold an ‘invite only’ Professional Open Day where there is a presentation of our services followed by a tour.  If you or your team would be interested in being invited to one of these please contact the Head of Care at the relevant hospice.
