| 1 | Integrating palliative care and symptom relief into paediatrics: a WHO guide for health care planners, implementers and
managers This document is part of a series of WHO publications on palliative care. Their objective is not to provide clinical guidelines, but rather practical guidance on integrating palliative care and symptom relief into health care systems. The current publication is intended to assist anyone involved with planning, implementing, managing or assuring the quality of health care for children to integrate palliative care and symptom relief such that the quality of life of children and their families will be improved, health-care systems will be strengthened and cost-effective models of service provision will be implemented. With this guide, WHO reiterates its commitment to answering the needs and expectations of all people, especially the most vulnerable. |
| 2 | Palliative Handbook Medicine 3rd Edn Many drugs are used in palliative care outside their licensed use at the doctor's discretion. Details of these, together with 'typical' doses and maximum doses are included as an aide-memoir. However, the inclusion of a drug or treatment in this handbook does not dissolve the doctor of their personal responsibility in providing treatment that they are confident with, and can justify, and that is tailored to the individual patient's circumstances. The extensive references aim to help the prescriber to know the evidence supporting its use. |

You may feel frightened, confused, and overwhelmed. It is hard to know and accept that someone we care for is near the end of life. |
