About Us
An all-ages partnership of Greater Manchester's hospices
We bring together seven adult hospices and two children's hospices in a single collaborative voice, working with health and care partners to improve specialist palliative care and end-of-life care for everyone in our region.
Why we exist
The Greater Manchester Hospices Provider Collaborative brings our expertise together to create a unified approach that strengthens hospice care across the region.
Our focus is on collaborative working, reducing inequalities, supporting integrated care, and improving access to Specialist Palliative Care for every community.
