Exploring Volunteering in Palliative Care: The research – past, present, and future

The focus of this talk will be on the research-based evidence to understand the huge contribution of volunteers in Hospices.

Join us as part of our 40th anniversary celebrations as Catherine Walshe presents contemporary research exploring issues associated with palliative care volunteering.  She will draw from a range of studies that she has been involved with including the first randomised controlled trial of hospice volunteers right through to recent research exploring the contribution and deployment of hospice volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
