Hospice UK Roadshow visits St Wilfrid's

We were joined in our Education Suite and hospice today by representatives from numerous hospices in the south of England and the Hospice UK team. The hardworking Hospice UK roadshow team will be on the road until late June organising informative talks and discussions around the future of Hospice care in the United Kingdom.

Alongside thoughts of the future there was also time to celebrate the great work of hospice teams and individuals who have helped make end of life care and palliative care positive and truly patient-centred.

Great to see/hear so many #hospice leaders from across the South East sharing their proudest moments from the last year at the @hospiceuk roadshow @stwilfridstweet pic.twitter.com/15t9PfXvX5
