"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.
