About the Hospice UK Awards

The Hospice UK Awards are a much anticipated part of our annual National Conference. 

They are your opportunity to recognise and celebrate the hard work that has been done during the past 12 months and the lasting impact it will have. 

Across the categories, we are looking for stand out individuals and teams that will inspire other hospices and palliative care organisations. We want to celebrate the difference the winners have made to people and their families facing the end of life. 

Why enter?

Entering the Hospice UK awards is your chance to champion the work you and the end of life care and palliative care sector do.

If you have worked with someone whose contribution, dedication and passion for high quality care has gone above and beyond, inspired you, or improved the way you and your team work, then let us know and nominate them for our 2024 awards! 

The 2024 winners have been announced at our National Conference in Glasgow.
