Hospice UK National Conference
Hospice UK's annual National Conference 2024 took place in Glasgow from 26 – 28 November.
The theme was Hospice care for all, for now, forever.
Hospice care for all, for now, forever
The theme of our National Conference was guided by our new five-year strategy, published in May 2024.
Following Hospice UK’s extensive consultation with the palliative and end of life care sector, three key themes emerged on the challenges facing our members and the sector. Our conference programme explored these three priorities:
- Improving equity of access
- Enhancing quality care
- Achieving sustainability.
We wanted those attending to leave feeling well placed to help meet the challenging context faced by the UK in the coming years.
