Tap Educational Resources For Pedes

If you’re looking for education materials relating to pediatric palliative care, the National Institutes of Health is offering a helping hand. As part of its “Conversations Matter” campaign, the NIH’s National Institute of Nursing Research is offering materials for both providers and families online at www.ninr.nih.gov/newsandinformation/conversationsmatter.
“Research has shown that palliative care offers many benefits, including enhancing quality of life for children, improvements in patient-provider communication, and satisfaction with overall care,” NINR Director Patricia Grady says in a release.
