About this workshop
Text
Your local elected representatives can be powerful advocates for your hospice locally and the hospice movement nationally. Building strong relationships can:
support commissioning negotiations
strengthen calls for national funding reform
improve the prioritisation of palliative care at a local and national level.
During this Big Conversation workshop, colleagues from across the UK shared tips and tricks on how to build strong relationships with elected representatives and make the most of opportunities to influence change.
