2025 Event: Celebrating Cicely Saunders
27th May 2025
St Christopher’s Hospice is organising a conference and masterclass in July commemorating the legacy of Dame Cicely Saunders who died in 2005. Entitled “What is to Become of Me” the two-day event will bring together experts and stakeholders to examine the complexities of contemporary suffering and explore effective responses in today’s world. The event will explore the enduring impact of Cicely Saunders’ pioneering work and reflect on how her ideas continue to shape palliative and end-of-life care today.
“Central to her legacy is the concept of “total pain” – a ground-breaking historical notion that recognises the multi-dimensional nature of suffering experienced by people who are dying. As society evolves, so too does the experience of suffering, making it vital to revisit and expand upon this concept.” – St Christopher’s Hospice
