What is Hospice Care Week?
Hospice Care Week is an annual week of activity to raise the profile of hospice care across the UK. Each year, a week of celebration and action helps to change people’s perceptions of hospice care.
Led by national charity Hospice UK, the campaign week takes place from 9 – 15 October 2023.
Hospice Care Week is an annual week of activity to raise the profile of hospice care across the UK. Each year, a week of celebration and action helps to change people’s perceptions of hospice care.
This is an opportunity to show the many faces of hospice care and to share inspiring stories. From nurses to volunteers, chefs to chaplains, corporate partners to carers, this week is an opportunity to celebrate everyone involved in providing and supporting hospice care.
We’ll use the week as a chance to share stories from Ashgate Hospice – and to help demystify hospice care.
Join the conversation on social media, using the hashtag #HospiceCareWeek
