Integrated discharge guidance for children and young people

Integrated discharge guidance for children and young people with Life-limiting conditions transitioning to a community care setting for end-of-life care

The purpose of the clinical guidance is to promote collaborative working across primary, secondary and tertiary care and through effective communication, involvement of the correct professionals to coordinate the continuing care and support necessary for the child/young person and their parents/guardians

The guidance is intended to support and formalise existing discharge planning practice while providing a template for local guidelines. Local policies and guidelines relating to discharge planning should reflect the core elements of this guideline.
