About Us
An all-ages partnership of Greater Manchester's hospices
We bring together seven adult hospices and two children's hospices in a single collaborative voice — working with health and care partners to improve specialist palliative and end-of-life care for everyone in our region.
Why we exist
Hospices across Greater Manchester have a long history of independent excellence. The Provider Collaborative was formed to amplify what each of our hospices already does brilliantly — and to do together what none of us could do alone.
Our focus is on collaborative working, reducing inequalities, supporting integrated care, and improving access to specialist palliative care for every community.
