Palliative care services in paediatric oncology centres across Europe: A cross-sectional survey.

Our results suggest that specialised PPC is available in more than half of paediatric oncology settings across Europe. Although half have had PPC available for >10 years, many cannot fulfil the demand for service. Barriers to implementation (i.e., parental education, staff training) should be addressed, with resources and services further expanded to cover the demand for PPC, including bereavement care.
