BOLTON Hospice have launched an innovative Facebook group for health professionals to access advice and resources in the palliative and end of life care field.

This group is for people working in palliative and end of life care in different settings, like hospices or nursing homes.

The group offers support and guidance to people working in the sector, provide news and updates about palliative and end of life care practices.

Vicki Guest, senior university lecturer, was involved in the formation of the group. She said: “The aspiration for this group is to promote more collaborative working with healthcare professionals from across the palliative care field in the UK.

“We all have differing experiences and skills depending on our career backgrounds. Facebook is so widely used by people both for personal and professional reasons it seemed the perfect platform.”
