A Guide to Children’s Palliative Care

The Guide to Children’s Palliative Care is an essential resource for all those with an interest in planning, commissioning and delivering services and care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families.

The fourth edition of the Guide has been written from the standpoint that children’s palliative care is no longer in development but is now a recognised speciality. It has a greater focus on enabling all professionals to better understand the value of a children’s palliative care approach, making the care of life-limiting children everybody’s business.

It provides a 360-degree insight into children’s palliative care: what it is, its principles, purpose and importance to seriously-ill children and families who need it. The Guide seeks to establish and realise the vision that all of these children and their families have access to and receive comprehensive, high-quality, evidence-based services delivered by an appropriately trained, experienced and integrated workforce.
