Leadership and Governance
We are launching a new programme to support hospice CEOs and trustees lead their organisations through strategic commissioning, data and governance challenges.
We are creating new resources on financial sustainability, commissioning and NHS contracting, local collaboration and good governance. Specialist expertise will be available for governance reviews, data reporting and financial turnaround support, and we are strengthening our CEO development offer.
On this page, you can find out more about this work, as well as helpful resources, events and guidance that will help you to make the most of your membership with Hospice UK.

Inform our work
Our members play a key role in setting the agenda for our work.
One of the ways they do this is through hospice CEOs and the Hospice UK Advisory Council, which advises the Hospice UK board and senior team on key issues and priorities relating to hospice philosophy, policy, practice and professional development.
Chairs of hospice trustee boards can also inform and advise on the work of Hospice UK through the Hospice Boards Council, which is part of our governance system. Each region of the UK has an elected member who sits on the Council. They are responsible for raising awareness of issues concerning local hospice governance to a national level, informing and advising the work of Hospice UK and sharing information with each other.
