Introduction & key principles - Paediatric Palliative Care Core Pathway

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.
