Neil said: “I was drawn to working with St Christopher’s because of its reputation for clinical excellence and innovation. As one of the leading providers of education and training in palliative care, St Christopher’s is already punching above its weight. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with the leadership team and the rest of the trustees to increase the influence of St Christopher’s, positioning the hospice as a major player in conversations about death, dying, palliative care and bereavement support.”
