Emelita Robbins

Emelita Robbins is the CEO of Jersey Hospice Care, the island’s only hospice and the largest independent charitable provider of healthcare services in the Channel Islands. The charity has a
strategic leadership role in the delivery of end-of-life care across Jersey and provides education to all healthcare providers in this area. Jersey Hospice Care supports patients and their families in the home, in the community, at the Hospital and at Hospice. It offers palliative, emotional and spiritual care for free to anyone with a life-limiting condition.

“My path to the hospice industry was not an obvious one – previously, I was a litigator in London. The importance of corporate social responsibility, the belief that we should all be socially accountable, was drilled into me from day one and it has always stayed with me. The projects I became involved in gave me a diversity of experience and a very firm view that the most important factor in any aspect of life is people.”
