The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises the lifetime contribution and achievements an individual member of staff has made to their local hospice and it’s patients.
This award is now open for nominations! Enter by 17:00 on 7 September 2026. The winners will be announced at our National Conference in Liverpool on 16 - 18 November 2026.
At every hospice, extraordinary people have dedicated their careers to shaping care for patients, families and colleagues through commitment, compassion and skill.
New to the Hospice UK Awards 2026, the Hospice UK Lifetime Achievement Award recognises an individual member of staff whose contribution has made a lasting difference to their local hospice or palliative care organisation and the people it supports.
If you know someone who has gone above and beyond throughout their career - inspiring others, improving care, supporting colleagues and helping patients and families when it matters most – nominate them for this award and help celebrate the lasting contribution they have made.
The Award is sponsored by the Moore Family in memory of Michael Moore.
