This piece of research examined parents' perspectives and experiences of a hospice in the UK, to understand the barriers and/or facilitators to accessing a hospice, and what characteristics parents wanted from hospice provision. Focus groups and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used with parents who both used and didn't use the hospice. The research found that for parents, finding a place where they belonged and felt at "home" made the decision to accept help in caring for their child more acceptable.
