Advances in medical science and technology are saving the lives of more children worldwide than ever. Some will survive and live out a normal life expectancy, others will have a life-limiting/life-threatening diagnosis where death may come early, and still others will live on well past projected life trajectories into adulthood. With so many different care pathways, children, parents and communities often find themselves facing challenges for which neither they nor their health care systems are prepared.

This book aims to open a global discussion of these issues. Drawing on author Rita Pfund's 2007 text Palliative Care Nursing of Children and Young People (Radcliffe Publishing) it invites paediatric palliative care professionals, parents and chidren from around the globe to share their knowledge and experience it will be of interest to paliative care professionals, parents, policy makers and academics who have an interest in ensuring that all children and their families, regardless of geographical location, gender, ethnicity or socio economic class have equal and guaranteed access to comprehensive paediatric palliative care services.
