Yes? Then All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care (AIIHPC) wants to hear from you.
AIIHPC works with a range of hospices, health and social care organisations and universities on the island of Ireland. Through Voices4Care we are committed to having the views of patients and their families at the heart of what we do.
Membership of Voices4Care is now (summer 2016) being renewed and we are looking for new volunteers. Joining will give you the chance to be part of something that can make a real difference, and influence palliative care education, research, policy and practice.
Voices4Care members from across the island of Ireland are
- Patients or service users receiving palliative care.
- Carers or former carers of people with palliative care needs.
- People from the wider community interested in palliative care.
Voices4Care members will have meaningful opportunities to influence and inform palliative care in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. As part of the palliative care programme in Northern Ireland – Palliative Care in Partnership – their voice will be central to the design and development of palliative care, as the service user and carer group in this structure. The service user and carer voice will also be informing and influencing palliative care in the Republic of Ireland.
Closing date for applications for membership is Tuesday 9th August.
