Welcome
Welcome to the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care
Bringing people together to improve experiences of declining health, death, dying and bereavement.
The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care (SPPC) brings together health and social care professionals from hospitals, social care services, primary care, hospices and other charities, to find ways of improving people’s experiences of declining health, death, dying and bereavement.
We also work to enable communities and individuals to support each other through the hard times which can come with death, dying and bereavement.
