Hospice UK National Conference

Hospice UK's annual National Conference 2025 will take place at the ACC in Liverpool from 25 – 27 November.
This year's theme is: Equity, Sustainability, Quality
Equity, Sustainability, Quality
Following from 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.
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.

"Stepping out of the day-to-day to focus on the bigger picture of hospice care in the UK keeps us tuned in to mutual challenges, such as current financial pressures, and lets us be inspired by some of the amazing innovative work being done by other hospice teams, health and care partners and academic researchers."
- Jackie Butler, St Luke's Hospice Plymouth.
