Rowcroft Hospice and Torbay & South Devon NHS Trust have been running the End of Life Care Ambassadors Programme since 2018 and have nearly completed four cohorts of staff from across all areas from care homes, acute trusts and community services who have impacted on and improved end of life care. The next cohort is scheduled to start in September 2024 and we are recruiting now. We are looking for health and social care professionals who are interested in end of life care and who would like to make a difference.
