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.

How do you keep a large London Marathon team engaged, motivated and on track with their fundraising?

We’ll also make time for questions and to share experiences. This session is ideal for Challenge Events teams and anyone involved in London Marathon stewardship.

Hospices are seeing more people with progressive neurological conditions (PNC) and their illness can often have uncertain trajectories. Long periods of stability can give way to sudden deterioration, and prognosis is often uncertain, which means providing palliative care can often be complicated.

A thematic analysis of the reports from the 11 hospices indicated that practical experience, specialist input and joint learning increased staff confidence and organisational capability.

In this Big Conversation, Dr Lisa Bushby (St Oswald's Hospice) and Victoria Bartlett (Rowcroft Hospice) will share what has made the difference for their teams. You will leave with a sense of where your own hospice sits against that picture, and one practical step you could take in the next six months.

This webinar would work well for:
· Senior clinical leaders, directors of clinical services or patient care, heads of nursing or care, medical directors.
· The multidisciplinary team leading this care day to day - wherever they work including community, hospice at home and day services.
· Educators and quality leads, clinical educators, practice development leads, quality, governance and QI leads.
· Other third sector organisations and NHS Colleagues
