End of Life Care for Infants, Children and Young People with Life-Limiting Conditions: Planning and Management.

This guideline covers the physical, emotional, social and spiritual elements of end of life care, and focuses on improving the child or young person's quality of life and supporting their family and carers. There are, for instance, recommendations on managing distressing symptoms and providing care and bereavement support after death. Recommendations have also been made about how services should be delivered. The guideline is aimed at all providers of paediatric end of life care, whatever their level of practise, and also for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their parents or carers.
