Paediatric palliative care in Aotearoa New Zealand : current state and future direction
Article indépendant
This paper seeks to explore the current state of paediatric palliative care in Aotearoa New Zealand. The low priority afforded to paediatric palliative care for more than two decades has had a significant impact on service provision, education and research within this specialty. As a result, provision of specialist paediatric palliative care to children with serious illness and their whanau (family, including extended family) is inequitable and vastly inadequate. This paper considers the consequences of having limited access to specialist palliative care for children and whanau, and outlines what is required for both service development and current priorities for research.
