Big conversations

Learn about and inform our work on the key issues facing Hospice UK members across the UK.

How it works

Webinars

These are online sessions with a large audience, where we will share information about the key issues affecting our sector. They give you a chance to hear from from Hospice UK and invited experts.

These sessions are aimed at anyone working or volunteering in a Hospice UK member organisation.

Workshops

Our workshops are practical sessions that share best practice. They aim to develop your skills in a particular area so you can take work forward in your hospice.

Our workshops are facilitated by Hospice UK subject experts, in collaboration with specialists from elsewhere. They are open to anyone working or volunteering in a Hospice UK member organisation, and sometimes a wider, targeted audience.

Roundtables

These smaller sessions provide an opportunity for people who are interested in a particular topic to discuss it in depth and share their experiences. We will invite hospice leaders to a roundtable to help inform our joint work.

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is set to shake up the way charities manage supporter engagement, marketing, and consent. One of the most debated areas? The ‘soft opt-in’ rule – and its implications for fundraising, donor communication, and long-term supporter relationships.
Join us for an insightful session with Nigel Gooding, the Founder of the Data Privacy Advisory Service (DPAS).
Nigel will break down
- the key changes in the Data (Use and Access) Act that every charity needs to know
- how the ‘soft opt-in’ works under the new framework
- risks, grey areas, and compliance pitfalls to avoid
- practical steps to safeguard your charity’s data strategy while staying connected to supporters.

Join us to explore the latest Hospice UK data collation results. During the session we will:
- share key figures and what they reveal about hospice care across the UK
- discuss how the data can be used at both national and local levels
- explore ways to keep improving the data and how it can help demonstrate the impact of hospice care.
This session is open to all Hospice UK member hospices. In particular it will be useful for hospice leaders, clinicians and data leads.
