CPC teams in hospitals: This is a multidisciplinary team consisting of specialised children’s nurses, paediatricians, psychologists and child life specialists and is the bridge between hospital and home. The team offers support and guidance to families and first-line care by the family physician and homecare team. This care demands a professional and coordinating approach to support the whole family during the difficult process of palliative care.

CPC networks: This is a collaboration of professionals from different disciplines (specialised nurses, paediatric homecare nurses, paediatricians, general practitioners, social workers, psychologists, paramedics, child life specialists, day care facilities, bereavement care, spiritual workers, client support) and organisations involved in care from hospital to home, with specific expertise in caring for families with a severely ill child. These cross-domain networks offer support and guidance for families and focus on balance and everyday life for the whole family. Moreover, the networks fulfil a free access consultation function for parents and professionals who have questions about CPC. Another important task of the CPC networks is to increase and exchange expertise in the region via regular interprofessional meetings.
