Ann Robertson (1934 — 2023), a British nurse, was the founder and lifetime president of the Pilgrims Hospices in East Kent, UK.
After winning £1,000 in a competition in The Nursing Times and a further five years of fundraising, Robertson opened the Pilgrims Hospice in Canterbury in 1982.
[3] Roberson travelled around the UK to learn what training was received by others involved in end-of-life care, for example, district nurses, ambulance staff, undertakers, police and other hospice workers, and how they coped with their work.
As well as in-patient wards, specialist nurses go out into the community to organise Hospice at Home and Outreach Day Centres.
Following Robertson's own emphasis on education, the centre runs training for its own staff and also for some thousand social and health workers each year.
