Hospice Care Week

Hospice Care Week is a chance to celebrate hospice care nationwide, and the incredible work that is being done to make sure everyone can benefit from the very best end of life care.

This year, Hospice Care Week will run from 9 - 15 October 2023. 

What is the theme for Hospice Care Week?

Hospice Care Week 2023 will focus on workforce, under the theme: ‘We are hospice care’.  

Hospices support more than 300,000 people every year. But the need for hospice care is growing. There aren’t enough people to fill the roles we need to look after dying patients and their families. Without people to fill these empty roles, hospices will struggle to keep providing the gold-standard end-of-life care everyone deserves.

We know that hospice staff find it to be the most rewarding and satisfying job of their career. 

That’s why, this Hospice Care Week, we’ll be supporting you to celebrate everyone that makes hospice care what it is.
