Evidence into Practice community of practice

This community of practice (COP) aims to share new and emerging evidence about palliative and end of life care and support members to translate this into their day-to-day practice.

We will do this by:

• giving you a platform to network, share ideas and learn from one another
• promoting relevant learning events, resources and research projects
• showcasing examples from practice and leading academics.

The COP is primarily focused on research evidence from the UK.

The Evidence into Practice COP is led by:

• Catherine Hodge, Programme Development Manager, Hospice UK
• Julie Kinley, Clinical Research & Evidence Manager, Hospice UK
• Melanie Taylor, Head of Information, Hospice UK.

Administrative support is provided by Stuart Duncan, Project Officer, Hospice UK.

This community of practice meets every quarter via Microsoft Teams.

The dates for 2025 are:

Everyone who joins the network will be added to our MS Teams channel where members can share and discuss ideas. Through the channel, we will keep you updated with everything Hospice UK is doing, arrange meetings and share helpful resources.

If you already use Teams, the group will look a bit different to what you’re used to. Please make sure you have read our guidance and set up notifications to make sure you don’t miss anything!
