We're here to make every moment count, whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months, or years. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional, and medical care. Our specialist care and support is free of charge and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our education courses are suitable for health and social care practitioners with experience of, or interest in, paediatric palliative care. If you would like to know more about any of the courses listed please email educationbookings@shootingstar.org.uk
