In our twenty-fifth anniversary year, we are hosting our third multi-professional conference in Harrogate on 24 to 26 November 2009.
Growing stronger together
Our conference provides an arena to share the breadth of expertise and experience in hospices. Many hospices have also used previous conferences as an opportunity for both professional development and team building.
"The value of so many attending as a team was two-fold. There is the personal and professional bonding which strengthens the teams enormously. Secondly, we can take much more from the conference and then discuss it more comprehensively."
Nursing Director
"Excellent conference, not least because every element challenged how we think, what we do, what we should plan for."
Hospice CEO
