Hospices provide the most vital and compassionate care and support when people need them most, no matter what their background or circumstances. It is just one of the many things that makes hospices so amazing.
We know that there is a wide range of outstanding talent across the sector and we are looking for speakers from all walks of life and are particularly committed to increase the diversity of our speakers including those from different ethnicities, disabilities and identities.
To us, talent is talent and we want to be able to share your knowledge, experiences and expertise with our members to help them develop, learn and increase the income for hospice care all across the UK.
