Palliative Care Week is a campaign dedicated to raising public awareness and increasing understanding of palliative care and its benefits. Its primary audience includes those who could benefit from palliative care, health and social care professionals, the wider public, and communities across the island of Ireland. AIIHPC celebrated the 12th anniversary of the campaign in 2025, having led and coordinated the annual campaign since 2014.
Why Palliative Care Week ?
Misunderstanding about palliative care persists, meaning some people who could benefit are less willing to seek it, potentially missing out on improved quality of life
It comes under the broad understanding of public health approaches to palliative careIt is in line with key palliative care policies across the island of Ireland
The dates for Palliative Care Week 2026 are Sunday, 6- Saturday, 12 September.
