[From palliative care... to the palliative approach in paediatrics: 10 years on]

Abstract

There are 24 regional pediatric palliative care resource teams (ERSP) in metropolitan and overseas France. An initial review of the ERSPs was carried out in 2015. The ERSP commission of the Société française de soins palliatifs pédiatriques (French Society for Pediatric Palliative Care) wanted to review the situation again, ten years after the creation of these teams. This article presents the main findings.
