Research in paediatric palliative care,
distilled for the bedside.
Evidence in Paediatric Palliative Care (ePPC) is an independent educational platform for the professionals who care for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Research in our field is growing, but it rarely reaches the bedside in time. Guidelines run to eighty pages; shifts do not. We read recent studies, guidelines and consensus statements, and turn them into clear, visual, rigorously referenced summaries: what the study found, how sound it is, and what it changes on Monday morning.
We write for the whole team. Medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, physiotherapy, spiritual care and every other discipline that sits at the same table.
Every summary belongs to one domain, and carries its colour.
Straight from our Instagram feed. See the full archive.
Every claim has a source. Each summary is based on an identifiable primary document, cited with its DOI or a stable institutional link. We read the source before writing about it. Figures are redrawn, never reproduced, and we do not share paywalled files.
No commercial funding. ePPC has no sponsors. Its only running cost is its domain names, paid by its editors.
If that ever changes, it changes in the open. Any future support will take the form of unrestricted educational grants, disclosed on this page. No funder will suggest topics, preview content before publication, or hold veto power over anything we publish.
No paid coverage, no affiliations. We are not affiliated with the organisations, journals or publishers whose work we summarise, and we never accept payment in exchange for covering a study, a book or a product.
Corrections. We will get things wrong. When we do, write to us and we will correct it publicly, naming the error rather than quietly editing it away.
ePPC is edited by clinicians currently working in paediatric palliative care. We publish under the project's name rather than our own, so that the evidence carries the argument instead of the messenger.
Credentials are available for verification on institutional request. If you are a journal, a congress, a hospital or a funder and need to know who you are dealing with, write to us and we will tell you.
Corrections, collaborations, and questions from institutions are all welcome here.
