Family-Centred Care Community of Practice

Why we exist

• To share best practices and create new knowledge to advance family-centred care for hospitalized children and their families.
• To connect people who are implementing or exploring the implementation of family-centred care practices.
• To share successes, challenges, and lessons learned rather than reinvent in isolation.
