Welcome
The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care 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.
The SPPC is a collaboration of organisations involved in providing care towards the end of life in Scotland. SPPC membership includes all the territorial NHS Boards, all Scottish hospices, a range of professional associations, many national charities, local authorities, social care providers and universities.
We undertake a varied range of work, all aimed at improving people’s experiences of living with declining health, death, dying and bereavement in Scotland. Our members recognise the importance of an effective cross sector, multi-professional network, and contribute expertise, perspectives, time, energy and money to make our work possible.
