Setting an example in palliative care

We are committed to ensuring children, young people and families receive the best possible care and support throughout the palliative care journey.

As such we are always willing to share policies and practice where appropriate and to contribute to work groups, committees and initiatives across the East Midlands.

Sharing best practice

Professional Partnerships

Rainbows works in partnership with health providers across the East Midlands to ensure that the very best care and support is available for the babies, children and young people who use our services.

Who we help

We care for babies, children and young people whose lives are expected to be short, and support the whole family. Find out who we help.

How to refer a baby, child or young person

Referrals are accepted from a healthcare professional. To meet our criteria babies, children and young people need to be diagnosed with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.
