Abstract
How can we best future-proof the palliative care workforce to overcome foreseeable challenges on the horizon? Clearly, this is a complex question that warrants consideration of multiple factors and input from many stakeholders, including palliative care volunteers.1 Whilst providing a definitive answer is beyond the scope of this paper, here we discuss but a few pieces in contribution to the larger workforce-puzzle of discourse in the field of palliative care. Broader discussion to advocate for strategic workforce policy is essential and waiting passively for an uncertain future is simply not an option.
