I found all my interviewees echoed the same view what children’s palliative care (CPC) nurses lack training.
“The focus is on getting the child better as opposed to caring for them when they are past getting better”

It was a common agreement among, not just a few, everyone I interviewed. It’s an important chapter of the documentary and research revealed that these are the only seven countries in the world that offer palliative care courses at university:
- Belgium and France offer a multi-university diploma
Université Catholique de Louvain and Université Catholique de Lille - Ireland
University College Dublin - Portugal
Portuguese Catholic University - South Africa
University of Cape Town - Uganda
Mildmay - United Kingdom
Cardiff University and Coventry University - USA
EPEC- Pediatrics and ELNEC-Pediatric Palliative Care Train-The-Trainer courses
