About us

hospice information is a joint venture between St. Christopher's Hospice and Help the Hospices. It brings together the experience and established reputation for high quality of the Hospice Information Service at St. Christopher's and the national remit and innovative information developments of Help the Hospices. Together, we want to provide a world-class information service for health professionals and members of the public, on UK and international hospice and palliative care.

St. Christopher's was founded by Dame Cicely Saunders in 1967 and is recognised throughout the world as the first modern hospice. For more information about St. Christopher's please click here.

Help the Hospices, founded by the Duchess of Norfolk in 1984, is the national charity for the hospice movement in the UK. For more information about Help the Hospices please click here.
