Report: Together for Short Lives' report to NHS England: a national overview of the readiness of the children's palliative care sector to implement the NICE End of Life Care for Infants, Children and Young People: Planning and Management Guidelines

Published in December 2017, this report by Together for Short Lives with the support of NHS England provides a baseline of the current position of the children’s palliative care sector in providing high quality, equitable palliative and end of life care based on the NICE guideline.  The data was collected from the regional children’s palliative care networks and then collated and analysed against the NICE guideline. The results show a mixed level of achievement reflecting the wide variation that exists across each of the networks.
