network of professional associations
*
Help the Hospices hosts the Network of Professional Associations (NPA), which aims to bring together, on a regular basis, representatives from Professional Associations and special interest groups whose members work within or adjacent to hospice and palliative care.

By providing services to support their development, Help the Hospices seeks to develop cooperation and joint working between Professional Associations and special interest groups that will benefit their members and, more specifically, have a real, positive impact on patient care. With an average membership approaching 200, each Association - from social workers to nurse managers, from fundraisers to chairmen – has a national focus, but with a regional structure to enable its members to meet and interact effectively.

Links to the websites of eighteen Associations and networks are listed below. New special interest groups and networks are developing, and website links will be added as they are created.

The content and views expressed by the professional associations do not necessarily represent the views of Help the Hospices
