A Guide to the development of children's palliative care services is a key resource for all organisations and professionals who have an interest in developing or supporting services for life-limited or life-threatening children and their families. It sets out ACT's vision for the future sustainable development of children's palliative care, ensuring that the best quality care and support is available to all the children, young people and families that need it.

Essential reading for all commissioners and providers of services with an interest in children's palliative care, disabled children or children with complex health care needs. This Guide will be of specific interest to children's and workforce development commissioners, PCT chairs and chief executives, clinicians working with children, heads of care, paediatricians, GPs, hospice managers, community nursing teams and all statutory and voluntary sector providers working with life-limited or disabled children.

Now in its third edition, the Guide sets out the evidence and definitions that will inform the development of children's palliative care services and gives commissioners and providers the tools they need to plan, develop and deliver high quality and sustainable services across the UK.
