Palliative care is about promoting the best possible quality of life and care for every child with a life-limiting condition and their family
Respectful and compassionate care for a child or young person and their family members at the end of life, ensures their physical, psychological and social needs are met.
For many children with life-limiting conditions, their condition can decline at any time. For some their passing can be quite sudden for others it can be slower, allowing for better acceptance, planning and goodbyes.
As a parent, you only want the best for your child to know they haven’t suffered and were not in pain. Good practice on behalf of the professionals involved is vital as well as the gathering of information, building relationships, trust and confidence. It is important that families receive full care and support during this time that they are in full receipt of the facts and information in order that informed choices and plans can be put in place without any regrets or questions.
