The course is hosted by the University of Nottingham. This module utilises a student centred approach to extend students’ understanding and application of palliative care for children and young people exploring social policy and service delivery within both a national and international context. The physical and psychosocial issues faced by children, young people and their families requiring palliative care are examined in depth. Particular attention is placed on the concept of ‘transition’ as individuals move across service boundaries from children’s to adult services.
