This is fantastic news!
We welcome today's announcement of additional support for hospices by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Hospices are ready to do all we can in the coming years to ensure everyone gets the care and support they need at the end of life.

Thank you Wendy for sharing your experience and honest perspective on living with dementia and planning ahead.
Our thoughts are with Wendy's family.
Everyone at Dementia UK is deeply saddened to learn of the death of @WendyPMitchell. A tireless campaigner, Wendy’s writing and work helped many people understand what it is like to live with dementia, as well as giving a powerful voice to those living with the condition.💙[1/4]

Everyone has a right to high-quality care and support at the end of their life, including people in prison.
We spoke to @NursingTimes about our work to ensure people in prison can access palliative and bereavement care when they need it.

It featured on Reporting Scotland, Radio Scotland and online.

It initially really surprised me in this first year at @hospiceuk that hospices do so much beyond their buildings. Less than 5% of deaths occur in hospices, but the number of people who benefit from their services is so much higher: Over 300,000 people in 2022. Not just IPU!

We supported a report by @theHSSIB that explores the way delivery of palliative & end of life care is currently set up in England, where there are gaps in how it is provided, & how NHS England can support ICBs in their palliative & end of life care work: ow.ly/hjwe50QhPXn
