Paediatric Palliative Care

The last part of the Childhood cancer mini-series;

Nobody wants to be caring for a child in the last stages of their life, so it is even more important than usual to do our very best and feel that we have provided genuine and useful care for these patients. Includes case study module and webinar

The KidConfident Professor brings us poster #12 with a linked case study, which you can work through and save to your portfolio as evidence of CPD and reflective learning

Check out the case study here

Check out the YouTube webinar below; Presented by Derek and Paediatric Palliative Care Nurse Caroline Dorsett

Managing palliative care is always hard but when it is a child it can feel overwhelming. We talk to Caroline Dorsett a nurse specialist in paediatric palliative care to explore what we can do if asked to attend on a 999 call. Looking at Advanced Care Plans, working through case studies and then some real life examples of feedback from families who have called 999 when their child is dying.
