Staff Development & Care

Developing a new hospice strategy
To help plan the new strategic direction for 2018 – 2022, to take the hospice through the next 4 years to its 40th birthday.
An engagement campaign was launched including staff, volunteers, users of our services, organisations we work with and the general public to develop a strategic direction which would be both manageable and based on the needs of the population of mid Essex.
Information from the engagement exercise was collated and analysed. Themes were identified to help shape the new hospice strategic plan.
Two phases of workshops were completed, phase one was for medical staff and phase 2 for other Health Care professionals - train the trainer – as part of the STP wide programme.
HOP was decommissioned due to problems with the vehicle. This had proved very successful supporting the work of the Information Service so a suitable replacement was needed.
