Textbook: Children's Palliative Nursing Care

This text (published 2025) is aimed at nurses delivering palliative care to children. It has been written by nurses working across the globe, so although it has a significant UK representation, there are examples of how PPC can be facilitated in other countries including those where services are less developed. 

Themes include delivery of care, training and education, self care for nurses, symptom management, end-of-life care and bereavement, leadership, evaluation of care.

The text includes the CPCET UK and Ireland Education Standard Framework (2020) which has been mapped to the different chapters.

I would recommend this text to nurses working in PPC and also other members of the MDT.
