We accept referrals from birth to 18 for anyone with a diagnosis of a life limiting or life threatening condition that falls into one of the four categories below. We also accept antenatal referrals when a life limited or life threatening diagnosis has been made during pregnancy:
- Children with life threatening conditions where cure is possible but can fail, for example cancer.
- Conditions which, though treated intensively over a period, inevitably lead to early death, such as cystic fibrosis.
- Progressive conditions where treatment is palliative and often over many years, for example muscular dystrophy.
- Irreversible but non-progressive conditions giving rise to severe disability and sometimes premature death.
These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Please do not hesitate to call us to discuss a referral before sending it across.
