Introducing the hospice
The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice was founded as a charitable trust in 1980 by the late Dr Anne Gilmore OBE. Our mission is to provide high quality, person-centred care for all those affected by life-limiting conditions. We receive a percentage of our funding from the NHS, and depend on voluntary donations, our fundraising events and legacies to maintain our invaluable services for the people of Glasgow.

Our home
In October 2018, we opened the doors to our new hospice in the peaceful surroundings of Bellahouston Park on Glasgow’s south side. Our home gives us the flexibility to develop our services and provide the highest standard of care in an environment that feels welcoming and familiar.
We are the first hospice in the UK to use the Scandinavian Sengetun model of palliative care. Patients and families are at the heart of the design, with a balance of private, social and family spaces. The environment is designed to support wellbeing and create a sense of calm, while clinical care remains close at hand.
Performance
We have a clearly defined mission, vision, aims and values, and publish various documents including an annual report and Healthcare Improvement Scotland reports.
