Education and training

Learning that inspires the future of hospice care

At The Mary Stevens Hospice, learning is at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose-built Education Centre provides a dedicated space to share knowledge, strengthen skills, and inspire best practice in palliative and end-of-life care.

Knowledge shared, care strengthened

By investing in education, we’re not only strengthening our own team, but we’re also helping raise standards of care across the wider community. Every course delivered has the potential to touch hundreds more lives, extending the reach of our expertise far beyond the walls of the hospice.

What we offer

Our Education and Training programme supports professionals, volunteers and partner organisations to develop confidence, compassion and clinical excellence. From essential skills to advanced palliative care knowledge, our sessions ensure that everyone involved in care feels empowered to make a difference.
