Charlotte Mellor et al. Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2010 Jan.

Abstract

This article compares and contrasts paediatric and adult palliative care, two specialties which are commonly rooted in the need to provide high-quality holistic care for life-limited patients. It explores how professionals can work together to meet the needs of young people transitioning from paediatric to adult health-care systems.
