About the programme

Text

The landscape for hospice leaders is complex and challenging. Many hospices have seen their funding remain static or even fall, whilst the demand for end-of-life care is predicted to increase significantly in the future.

The NHS and local authorities are urging local leaders to develop end of life care support that is integrated, accessible, systematic and responsive to the needs of the dying, their loved ones and the bereaved.

This programme will help you to:

  • navigate and shape this landscape 
  • respond in new ways to the challenges you face 
  • develop a high-impact strategic leadership style 

Since launching in 2016, the programme has been highly rated in evaluations from over 200 hospice leaders. In 2019, the programme was awarded the Leadership in Palliative Care Award by the European Association for Palliative Care and the European Palliative Care Academy.

The programme allowed me valuable space to reflect on my leadership skills in a supportive environment of enquiry ... The facilitation was expert and really helped to deepen understanding.

I have shared many aspects with the team here and I definitely feel I have changed for the better after the course.
