Join us for an engaging, reflective and informative study day with the London School of Paediatrics introducing and exploring paediatric palliative care. The program will equip and empower doctors caring for children with life limiting conditions to have a greater understanding of the specialty, their role and how they can best support patients and families.
This study day will provide paediatric doctors an introduction and exploration of paediatric palliative care as a specialty, providing practical tips and opportunities for reflective practice, to enable doctors to provide the best possible care for children with life limiting conditions.
By attending, you will:

- Be able to recognise when palliative care team input may be appropriate for a baby, child or young person and communicate this sensitively with colleagues, patients and families
- Reflect on the complex ethical factors that can present in paediatric palliative care and develop an approach to navigate these
- Be able to care for a baby, child or young person with a life limiting condition in an acute context, understanding when to seek help and using practical tips and resources available

- Be able to sensitively and compassionately support and communicate with families of children with life limiting conditions, including awareness of additional support services, such as hospices
