Hospice Partners

Essex Hospice Collaborative

The Essex Hospice Collaborative is a new partnership comprising of 6 Hospices in Essex - St Clare's, St Luke's, Farleigh, Havens, St Helena's and Saint Francis Hospice. It is being formed in response to the changes taking place in the wider healthcare system, and in particular - the formation of a new Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB). The collaborative is committed to co-operating with one another and exploring the potential for strategic partnerships to improve the reach, impact and cost effectiveness of Hospice care and services for the benefit of those adults impacted by life-limiting and life-threatening illness, death, dying and bereavement across Essex. It is also focused on representing the communities served across Essex and influencing the new ICB with one united voice. 

This collaborative builds on the existing Hospice Collaborative Partnership (HCP) between St Luke's, Farleigh, Haven's and Saint Francis Hospice, operating effectively for a number of years.

London Hospices Working Together

Hospices across London, both adult and children, are exploring ways to work more closely together. Saint Francis Hospice CEO meets regularly with the London Hospice CEO network, as do other colleagues across key areas of income generation, marketing and care provision. Work is underway to develop a Memorandum of Understanding and a governance framework, to enable London's hospices to focus on and implement joined fundraising and profile raising campaigns. 

In Northeast London (NEL), the three hospices, St Joseph's, Haven House and Saint Francis Hospice are working together to ensure equitable and high-quality palliative and end of life care is available to nearly 2.3million residents. The three hospices receive statutory funding through the NEL ICB, to varying degrees, and are determined to further build on the already positive and productive relationship with the NEL ICB to ensure sustainable and equitable funding for hospices which will enable us to fully support the ‘left shift’ in end of life care from acute to community and retain and grow the specialist palliative care services local people need.
