Which hospices need to complete the survey?

The workforce data survey is for all independent charitable hospices from all four nations of the UK. This includes adults and children's hospices (and hospices serving both). 

Marie Curie and Sue Ryder will submit data for their hospices via their Head Office.

NHS hospices (and NHS charities supporting NHS hospices) do not need to fill in the survey.

How will you tell us about the survey?

We will invite hospices to complete the survey via the National Clinical Leaders Group, the National HR Leaders Group and Hospice Leaders Briefing.

How to complete the survey

To submit your hospice's workforce data, please download this spreadsheet.

There are several tabs in the spreadsheet - please read the instructions tabs and fill in the data tabs.

Please email your completed spreadsheet to our clinical team by 30th June 2025.

Submit your data by 30th June 2025

About the data collation

Text

The data collation focuses on understanding the workforce at your organisation on a given census date, as well as other important clinical workforce measures. 

This year, we are asking you to provide us with a snapshot of your workforce on 31st March, 2025.

HR leads will likely have to work with colleagues at their hospices including finance leads, data analysts and clinical teams to help them gather their data and input into our spreadsheet tabs.
