Clinicial Vignettes in Paediatric NeuroPalliative care
Viraj Sanghi

Paediatric neuropalliative care plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for children with life-limiting neurological conditions, as well as their families. Palliative Care aims to improve their quality of life by addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. In this talk, the importance of early referral to neuropalliative care and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in providing such care will be explored.Clinical cases will be used to illustrate the challenges faced by children with life-limiting neurological conditions and how neuropalliative care can help address these challenges. Through these cases, we will demonstrate how neuropalliative care can help manage symptoms, provide comfort care, and support families during end-of-life journeys.
In summary, this presentation will aim to raise awareness of the importance of neuropalliative care for children with life-limiting neurological conditions and to encourage healthcare providers to consider early referral to neuropalliative care as part of a comprehensive approach to care for these patients and their families.
