Quality, choice and empowering a voice
For us, children’s palliative care is about high quality, specialist support 24/7. We empower the voice of the child, young person and family in decisions made. Our holistic care focuses on quality of life.
We work collaboratively to ensure that families can choose their preferred place of care and death. Our specialist doctors, CNSs and hospice are team work together with both hospital and community teams. Each person is different and we respect the difficult choices that are made and can often change very quickly.
