ABSTRACT
There are 24 regional pediatric palliative care resource teams (ERSP) in metropolitan and overseas France. An initial review of the ERSPs was carried out in 2015. The ERSP commission of the Société française de soins palliatifs pédiatriques (French Society for Pediatric Palliative Care) wanted to review the situation again, ten years after the creation of these teams. This article presents the main findings.

In support of caregivers in the field, the regional pediatric palliative care resource teams travel to health, medico-social and liberal structures, as well as to homes to accompany children and their families affected by serious illness. Nurses play an important role in this sensitive care. Research and teaching enable them to disseminate the palliative culture and advance knowledge.
