Letter to Editor

Dear Editor,
Nurses who care for children and their families across the globe are practicing with at least some knowledge, albeit various descriptions, of what it means to deliver services that are “family centred.” The literature has been plentiful on the theoretical discussion of Family Centred Care (FCC). While some support the implementation of what the literature describes as caring for the family and child together, others are discussing the development of focusing on the child as the central focus of care. As these debates and scientific discussions abound, all pediatric nurses seek the scientific framework directly or indirectly to guide their evidence based practice in hospitals, homes and other settings worldwide.
