We are delighted to announce the launch of the newly redesigned and updated website- The Palliative Hub – Carers, part of The Palliative Hub suite of websites developed by AIIHPC.
This site is specifically designed for carers who are supporting someone with palliative care needs. It offers clear, accessible information and guidance to support carers provide care for their loved one, and look after themselves.
The redevelopment was shaped through focus groups with AIIHPC’s Voices4Care volunteer group, Health and Social Care Professionals, and a wider public survey, ensuring the content is grounded in lived experience.

AIIHPC welcomes today's report from the Northern Ireland Assembly of its Inquiry into Access to Palliative Care Services, and we acknowledge the commitment of the Health Committee in carrying out this Inquiry into palliative care services. We were grateful to have the opportunity to contribute. Palliative and hospice care is at the heart of every community, and every community needs the support of those services now and in the future as evidenced by the growing need which is predicted to increase by 31% in Northern Ireland by 2040.

"It is essential that the report's recommendations are implemented in order to meet these growing needs. AIIHPC is committed to supporting our member organisations as they continue to strive to collaborate and deliver excellent palliative care services at the right time and right place to all those who need it and their families. We will also continue to prioritise all-island collaboration and shared knowledge by engaging with the wider health sector, policy-makers and community and voluntary organisations across the island of Ireland," Karen Charnley, CEO, AIIHPC.
