About the Hospice UK Awards

The Hospice UK Awards are a much anticipated part of our annual National Conference. 

They are your opportunity to recognise and celebrate the hard work that has been done during the past 12 months and the lasting impact it will have. 

Across the categories, we are looking for stand out individuals and teams that will inspire other hospices and palliative care organisations. We want to celebrate the difference the winners have made to people and their families facing the end of life.
