The Shakespeare Hospice recognises the sensitive, serious, and far-reaching nature of the recent vote in Parliament regarding assisted dying. Any potential outcomes will inevitably have a significant impact on a wide group, including our patients, service users, their loved ones, and the dedicated staff and volunteers who support them.
The Shakespeare Hospice will work closely with key regional stakeholders and adhere to guidance from the Coventry & Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This collaborative approach will ensure our actions remain safe, compliant, and compassionate throughout.
We are committed to establishing strong support systems, developing policies that prioritise safety and dignity, and maintaining continuity of care across our community. All measures will align with national guidance and regulatory standards, ensuring the needs of those we serve remain at the forefront of our response.
