Clinical Leadership

Find out about the many ways in which we provide clinical leadership for hospices and their staff, as a core part of our role as the national hospice care charity.

The Hospice UK Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the charity, ensuring we fulfil our objectives and adhere to our philosophy and values

Strong clinical leadership helps ensure people have a positive experience of care. It’s vital that we build and support leaders, working at all levels, within our care structure. This will empower them to be effective, resourceful and resilient.
