A renewed website full of information about palliative care!

The renewed website of the Knowledge Center for Palliative Care for Children is live!


A new site full of information about the care of children (0-23 years) with a life-shortening or life-threatening illness and their families. Are you a parent or healthcare professional looking for help or support, project information, news or experiences from others? Read more here.

The most important change compared to the old website is the disappearance of the dichotomy between families and healthcare professionals. Our analysis shows that both target groups have needs for each other's information. All information is relevant for both families and healthcare professionals. The ease of use has been improved as a result. The atmospheric images and the use of color give the site a fresh and modern look.

Driver Meggi Schuiling-Otten:

“Child palliative care is developing rapidly. The renewed website of the Knowledge Center for Palliative Care for Children is in line with the need to make the many innovations and growing knowledge available to families, professionals and policy makers in a central digital location”.


About pediatric palliative care

Pediatric palliative care focuses on the quality of life and death of children and adolescents from the moment they are diagnosed with a life-shortening or life-threatening condition. This care focuses on the whole family. Child palliative care also includes care for siblings and parents, including aftercare after a possible death.

Pediatric palliative care knowledge centre

The Knowledge Center for Palliative Care for Children has been working for years to improve pediatric palliative care as an area of expertise and to embed it structurally in the Dutch healthcare system. The focus is on knowledge and the power of collaboration. The aim is to bring children and families into contact with organizations and networks that work with them to achieve the highest possible quality of pediatric palliative care.
