Introduction & key principles - Paediatric Palliative Care Core Pathway
A useful guide and introduction to children’s palliative
care. The document offers an overview of the pathway of care and sets six standards
for delivering high quality, effective children’s palliative care. It covers
principles of good practice from initial diagnosis of recognition of the need
for palliative care, through assessment care at the end of life and through
bereavement.
There is useful background information, but the reader
should be mindful of the current revisions being made to the core categories
and model of children’s palliative care.
