This guide aims to support healthcare organisations in their work with local authorities and other partners to develop children's palliative care services. It will help commissioners of health services to apply the children's national service framework (NSF) in their strategic development and delivery of children's palliative care.
Practical examples of palliative care service delivery are available on the Children's NSF web pages and the Department of Health has developed a web-based emerging practice database that contains over 180 case studies exemplifying how the NSF is being implemented locally.
