Victoria Hospice Society is seeking to engage people with lived experience with a life-limiting condition – either personally or through supporting a loved one. The purpose of this engagement is to gather meaningful patient, family and caregiver insights to:
– Ensure that Hospice’s new referral pathways reflect real-world needs and experiences
– Identify barriers and opportunities that may not be visible to internal teams
– Validate proposed changes before implementation to ensure usability and clarity
– Inform the development of clear, compassionate communication materials grounded in patient and family perspectives
– Provide strategic input for decision-makers regarding how to advance a person-centred approach to care and services with Victoria Hospice more generally
We will hold 1-3 focus groups from January-March 2026, approximately 60-90 minutes long each. Options will be provided for either in-person participation (at the Victoria Hospice Society, Royal Jubilee Hospital campus) or online (via Microsoft Teams), depending on participant availability and preference.
