How the commission works

The Help the Hospices Commission into the Future of Hospice Care has been established to provide a rigorous and challenging response to the future of hospices. Its members, drawn from within and outside the hospice sector, seek to create lively debate and critical consideration of the options facing hospices.

Involving hospices

The commission will engage hospices – sharing and refining its learning in an ongoing way in order that hospices contribute to the outputs of the commission during its course.

 

Making information public

Details of the commission’s work are made accessible once they are available. These include:

  • meetings  
  • reports commissioned
  • presentations.

 

Iterative discussion around the value and implications of the findings is considered to be an important characteristic of how this commission will operate.

 

The commission will seek to learn from, and reflect, user perspectives in its work; how it will achieve this will depend on the issue of consideration.

 

What it will produce

A range of reports, publications and toolkits will be produced for use by hospice staff and trustees to help them plan the future direction of their services.
