Positive impact of training and support on improving the proficiency of nurses providing palliative care to babies, children and young people in hospital
Tatterton M, Pickering A · Evidence-Based Nursing · 2026
Children with life-limiting conditions are living for longer and with more complex conditions than ever before. It is estimated that there are more than 21.6 million babies, children and young people (children) in need of palliative care internationally.1 There is worldwide agreement that access to palliative care is a right of these children, and that care should be provided by appropriately trained and experienced professionals within multidisciplinary teams. Despite the acceptance of these guidelines, access to child-specific palliative care training remains unclear, as do the levels of knowledge and experience of nurses who work exclusively with children.
