Hospice Leadership Programme
Do you work in hospice leadership? Do you manage people with potential to take on more senior hospice leadership roles? Do you have a succession plan in place so that you will always have a confident, skilled and knowledgeable leadership team? A team that can cope with the demands brought about by the increasing numbers of people needing palliative and end of life care in the near future?
We can help you to build a culture of growth and improvement within your hospice; to deliver tangible career progression for your most promising middle managers; and to help you to retain your very best staff to keep your organisation strong.
The Hospice Leadership Programme has a reputation for growing leaders of the future. And it just got better. We have listened to feedback, reviewed the course content, looked at the likely future needs of UK hospices, and updated the programme to give you the best possible outcomes.
The only course in the UK designed specifically for people in supervisory, first line manager or middle manager hospice roles, The Hospice Leadership Programme is delivered by an award winning Business and Coaching Psychologist , alongside palliative care experts who understand the challenges faced in a hospice environment.
Who is it for?
It is for anyone already working in middle management in a hospice environment (we’ve had marketers, fundraisers and finance managers join our cohorts as well as clinical staff) who wishes to progress their career in palliative and end of life care. It is also suitable for those working in other end of life care environments who are thinking about moving into a hospice role in the future.

Session Overview
Our management training and coaching programme develops a core set of key skills that hospice managers need to lead teams.
These essential skills include:
- Change Management
