It includes practical advice and resources on: Providing care at home, Managing common symptoms, Looking after your own wellbeing and much more.

We are deeply grateful to Tara's Palace Trust for their recent donation to AIIHPC for developments to The Palliative Hub-Children and Young People. Originally established in 2013, The Palliative Hub – Children and Young People has been a highly valued resource for parents and families living with and caring for a child or young person with life-limiting conditions. The site was redeveloped and redesigned throughout 2024, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the user experience, ensuring families have access to practical, accurate, and easily accessible information and also emotional support and guidance throughout their journeys.

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.
