Virtual Hospice Chairs Group
The group brings together hospice Chairs to consider issues of mutual interest in their vital, voluntary roles.
Virtual Hospice Chairs Group
The nature of a Chair's role means there is little opportunity to share experiences with peers from other hospices. Yet, given the responsibilities they have, the benefits of doing this can be considerable. This group was set up in the summer of 2024 to enable that to happen.
We meet quarterly and, as with the other groups, numbers are kept small enough to allow everyone to participate, but large enough to get a good range of opinions.
Below are details about some of our recent sessions. To learn more about the group, contact me.
July 2024
Our first virtual session involved a wide ranging discussion from the time honoured issue of trustee-executive relations, to the pros and cons of collaboration with other organisations and the financial challenges facing hospices.
We also covered the particular pressures involved in being a Chair and how to get the best out of trustees who are in full time employment or have a range of other time consuming duties.
Much to pick up on in more detail at future sessions!
