    Innovative approach to providing 24/7 palliative care for children.

    Nurs Child Young People. 2014 Jul;26(6):27-34

    Authors: Maynard L, Lynn D

    Abstract

    This study outlines an innovative, English hospice-based service that provides 24/7 care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Operational objectives were: symptom management; open access to families and professionals; choice in place of care and of death; and collaboration to develop shared pathways and management plans. Service standards were audited through questionnaires completed by professionals and families. Findings demonstrated that the nursing team filled a critical gap and met its pre-set standards. Keys to success were: having the right level and mix of specialist and advanced skills; funded on-call arrangements; anticipatory planning; symptom management plans; and clinical supervision. Further recommendations were to develop a multi-agency workforce strategy, and to increase capacity in the children’s sector to undertake academic research measuring the impacts of interventions.
