Why wellbeing matters

Working or volunteering for a hospice can be emotionally challenging.

The wellbeing of the hospice workforce matters. It is a key part of providing good quality, compassionate care. So it's vital that staff and volunteers are appropriately supported to cope with the associated stress of their roles.

The Resilience Framework

We commissioned The Point of Care Foundation to develop an evidence-based framework that would help hospice leaders build a resilient and thriving workforce.

The framework describes the range of interventions available for leaders to respond to the different types of stress associated with working in a hospice.
