The Hospice User Group (HUG)
As someone who has experienced our services, you are an expert. You can offer valuable feedback and insight into how we can improve patient care and support for families. Our aim is to learn from real user experience to help make continuing improvements to the service we provide to shape the future of Lindsey Lodge.
What is the Lindsey Lodge Hospice User Group?
The Hospice User Group (HUG) is a small group of people who have used our services, as either a patient, or family member, carer, or loved one of a patient.
The group meets to discuss how Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Healthcare services are currently delivered and how the quality of our care can be maintained or improved.
Can I join the Lindsey Lodge Hospice User Group?
If you’re currently using, or have ever used any of our services, you are welcome to join our HUG and make a difference to other people using our services here at the Hospice.
What’s involved?
The group will aim to meet four times a year at Lindsey Lodge Hospice. In these meetings we will:

- Act as the voice for Hospice service users alongside staff and volunteers of Lindsey Lodge Hospice & Healthcare in the delivery and planning of services.
