Really inspiring 1st day at #HospiceUKConf Whilst I’m drawn to discussing tech, change, workforce and culture, I think it’s important to engage with other aspects of hospice work - funding, clinical, retail, governance, assisted dying. Excellent programme - bravo colleagues! @hospiceuk.bsky.social

"Sign me up to anything! If it makes a difference to someone else's life, I'm in!" - Hospice patient

There used to be an assumption that research participation is burdensome to palliative care patients. This is changing now. Altruism, legacy, and being heard - these can all be meaningful, even at the very end of life (see quote!)
