Supportive Care UK offers a practical, cost‑effective way for ICBs, Trusts  and hospices to strengthen 24/7 palliative consultant cover.

As ICBs shift towards neighbourhood‑based models and many providers face rota pressures or consultant shortages, our national chamber of consultants provides dependable second‑on‑call telephone advice out of hours, alongside remote daily board rounds and MDT support, stepping in where rotas are stretched or gaps are unavoidable. 

SCUK helps organisations meet statutory expectations around safe, coordinated, round‑the‑clock palliative care while allowing local teams to focus on delivering high‑quality care closer to home.

We have a robust governance framework and our consultants build trusted relationships with the teams they work alongside, giving clinicians the confidence and support they need to make stronger, safer decisions for the people in their care.
