Our goal is to improve the provision of community palliative care for children and families across the UK.
We believe that every child with a life-limiting condition, and their family, should have access to a model of integrated community children's palliative care, whenever and wherever they need it.
Right now, too many families face gaps in local services. Navigating the system can feel overwhelming, especially when all they want is to focus on caring for their child at home.
The Kentown model is here to change that.
By linking to and collaborating with professionals, other organisations and Integrated Care Boards, we ensure our model provides children and their families with the right care at the right time in their own home. This is a unique, UK-wide model working with local services to create a more coordinated, accessible and family-focused approach - together for seriously ill children and their families.
“This is an exciting time for Kentown Support as we scale up and roll out our model of community children's palliative care. With funding from the Kentown Wizard Foundation, this is an opportunity to promote high quality palliative care, education and research for children and families who need it most.”
Dr Helena Dunbar,
Chief Executive Officer, Kentown Support
