Hospice UK National Conference

Bringing people together from across the sector, this event is for people in all roles working in hospices and in palliative and end of life care.

This year's conference celebrates the power of our movement, and the quality, patient-centred care that is at the heart of all that we do.

Following our engagement with delegates last year, the theme of our National Conference 2025 will again be guided by our strategy, focusing on 3 key themes: equity, sustainability, quality.  

The first sessions on our 2025 programme have now been announced.

Over three days, you can join colleagues from across the sector for sessions covering topics including:

• leading organisational resilience
• key findings and thoughts from the Commission on Palliative and End-of-Life Care
• navigating uncertainty and hearing international evidence about assisted dying
• fundraising and sustainability
• integrated services
• providing compassionate care in alignment with cultural beliefs
