Palliative Care Week
7 September @ 08:00 – 13 September @ 17:00
Planning for Palliative Care Week 2025 is well underway. This year, the campaign will take place from Sunday, 7 to Saturday, 13 September and the theme for the campaign is Palliative Care: Living for Today, Planning for Tomorrow.
Every year, we try to choose a theme that lends itself to sharing those core messages about the benefits of palliative care, under a strong broad theme. We hope that this will help you and your organisations when planning events and other activities to help to support this year’s campaign.
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.
Why Palliative Care Week ?
It is in line with key palliative care policies across the island of Ireland
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 care
