Stimulated by Downs(2003) article on Failure in Palliative Care the author reflects on the workings of a day hospice focusing on the difficult and challenging issues for patients and how the hospice setting can enable these issues to be raised and addressed. The issues are explored and illustrated using patient comments and experiences. Acknowledging a dearth of hospice day care research and literature the author seeks to motivate others and encourage a wider appreciation of day hospice and thereby influence future practice.

Dealing with existential questions is a constitutive part of palliative care. Interestingly, if we admit that border situations at the end of life give rise to clearly 'philosophical' questions, in the contexts of practice, these questions are perceived (nearly) without any reference to explicit philosophical traditions or to 'philosophical practice'. Existential questions in palliative care are usually approached from other perspectives and within other organisational forms of reflection and dialogue (psychotherapy, supervision, spiritual care, moral case deliberation). This piece considers how philosophical dialogue and reflection could contribute to palliative care and hospice work.

Volunteers have a long been involved in supporting the delivery of palliative care. Indeed in some countries, the range and quality of hospice and palliative care services depends on the involvement of volunteers. Hospice and palliative care services and volunteering are changing. As society develops, so too does volunteering. Volunteers have growing expectations of organisations, and increasingly seek roles that meet their needs and aspirations, rather than fitting in with organisational approaches.
