Haven House partners with Barts Health to enhance care for families

We are thrilled to announce that Haven House Children's Hospice and Barts Health have signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a significant milestone in our shared mission to support seriously ill babies, children, young people and their families.

This collaboration strengthens the connection between our services and the expert care provided by both organisations, ensuring that families receive the comprehensive support they need, wherever they are.

This partnership means that, moving forward, our services will be delivered directly within Barts hospital settings. By integrating our care into these healthcare environments, we are making it easier for families to access vital support where and when they need it most. Our teams will be there alongside Barts Health staff to offer tailored specialist care addressing the unique needs of each child and their family.

"This partnership marks a pivotal moment in our journey to provide more accessible and integrated care for our children and families," said Aisling Kilbane, Director of Clinical Services, at Haven House.

"By being present within the hospital setting, we are not only making our services more accessible but ensuring that families can have continuity of care. This MOU is a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality care, and we are excited for the future of this partnership as we continue to serve the children and families who rely on us."

“We are delighted to welcome this formal partnership between Haven House Children’s Hospice and Barts Health. By working even more closely together, we can ensure high-quality, seamless continuity of care that is fully integrated across settings. This collaboration allows us to provide tailored, specialist support for seriously ill babies, children, and young people, ensuring families experience compassionate, joined-up care at the most challenging times. We look forward to continuing this vital work together to achieve the very best outcomes for the babies, children, young people and families we serve.”

At Haven House, we are deeply grateful to Barts Health for their collaboration, and we look forward to working together to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of the families in our local communities.
