Specialised Paediatric Palliative Care (SPPC)

All services provided to children/families by a member of the multiprofessional SPPC team in Zurich according to local guidelines will be considered as study intervention. This includes direct consultation of the patient/family, as well as patient-/family-related consultation of the frontline care team. Bereavement support is considered an integrated part of SPPC and after the death of a child, follow-up bereavement support is routinely offered at the individual or group level as appropriate for parents and siblings.
