The International Children’s Palliative Care Network (ICPCN)
Sue Boucher
Sue Boucher describes hospice and palliative care as that which surrounds the child suffering from any life-limiting or life-threatening illness – and that child's entire family – with a comforting 'cloak' of timely, appropriate and comprehensive care, co-ordinated by one key person.... In 2005 the new Network was established to advocate for children's palliative care on an international scale, and to be a place where information for both existing and developing children's hospice and palliative care services could be found and shared.
