ACT's Best Practice Guide: Prompts for care in the last hours and days of a child or young person's life

Katrina McNamara-Goodger

The ACT Best Practice Guide, Prompts for care in the last hours and days of a child or young person's life aims to provide workers with an easy to reference document that can be easily carried with the worker. While there are many other fuller references to care at end of life, this guide aims to be a short reference document that provides a short list of prompts to support best practice. It was developed with the support of a number of experienced children's palliative care professionals. ACT is the national charity that represents children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families (www.act.org.uk).
