This review of the oral history of St Christopher’s Hospice in London was undertaken in partnership with a colleague from the hospice Revd Dr Andrew Goodhead. Together we reviewed the content of over 70 interviews with a range of individuals who told a story about the history of St Christopher’s. We have identified 10 themes in the history that we think has relevance for the hospice and palliative care sector today and in the future.
