Criteria for Referral

Children and young people should be:

Ordinarily under 16 years of age at first referral, taking into consideration all family circumstances
In need of palliative care - this may be at diagnosis, mid point in the disease process, or in the end stages
Experiencing a deterioration in their condition
Diagnosed with an illness, where survival to adulthood is unlikely and which may be determined by the following:
Progressive illness (for example, a metabolic disease) where there is progression from the point of diagnosis.
Life threatening illness - major organ failure of the heart, kidney, liver or cancer
Chronic illness - where there is evidence of deterioration, perhaps in association with an increase in technological dependency
Non-degenerative conditions - where there are associated problems, or an ongoing frailty of the child or young person
