What you can expect during care at end of life

We aim to make sure your child is as comfortable as possible during their end of life care; and for care to be well planned and coordinated (using the Advance Care Plan document as necessary). This will involve members of the EACH team regularly assessing and responding to your child’s symptoms, care and support needs.

You are likely to be asked about your preferred place of death for your child. In most situations this can be at home, in hospital or at the hospice. Planning for care at end of life is guided by your child and family preferences alongside the expertise of  professionals involved in your child’s care.
