Tkm & Associates proudly supports palliative care hospices

Throughout 2025, Tkm & Associates will be supporting the palliative care sector as our charity partners.

For every live attended course booking (public and in-house), practitioner and foundation online on-demand courses we receive, Tkm & Associates will credit 10% of the booking value into a pool to support information governance training for practitioners in the palliative care sectors. This will allow data protection officers, Caldicott Guardians, and records managers working in hospices and other parts of third-sector palliative care services to choose and book a range of our live and on-demand training at either heavily subsidised or no cost, depending on course choice.

When you choose Tkm & Associates as your information governance training partner, you are helping a key and under-resourced care sector.
