From October 6th to October 12th, 2025, Hospice Care Week unfolds - an occasion to celebrate the nationwide impact of hospice care. It's a moment to recognise the remarkable efforts invested in delivering optimal end-of-life care for all.
This year’s theme, “Hospice care is more than you think,” couldn’t be more fitting. For many, hospice care conjures images of inpatient beds and end of life support, but it’s also about helping people live well, manage their symptoms, and find peace during incredibly difficult times.
For one week in October, Hospice Care Week shines a spotlight on our brilliant hospices, and their amazing staff. We’ll do this through telling their stories, hearing their voices and harnessing the collective power of the hospice sector – that includes hospice supporters like you.
One of the people making hospice care possible at Dove House is Kari, a Complementary Therapist at the hospice, whose story shows the heart behind hospice care.f whom help make hospice care what it is. You will also hear from a variety of service users and patients who have accessed the different elements of care that we
provide at Dove House.
