Organisations we regulate


For independent hospice providers, we inspect the following services:

Hospices for adults

Hospices offer wide-ranging, personalised care to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of adults with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Services may be delivered in an inpatient unit and/or at home.

Hospices for children

Children’s hospice services offer wide-ranging, personalised care to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions or terminal illness. Hospices for children and young people may also care for young adults, up to the age of 30 and beyond. Services may be delivered in an inpatient unit and/or at home.
