This conference will highlight relevant research into hospice care and support the translation of research findings into practice.
This year, we are focusing on the future of hospice care in the UK, exploring the current research in hospice service provision and how health care professionals think that hospice could be best used to match this. What might hospices look like in 20 years’ time?
