This article describes the work of the Diana community nursing teams, a new nurse-led service funded by the Department of Health (DoH) to commemorate the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales. It identifies paediatric palliative care as an emerging specialty within children's nursing and discusses how children and young people with life-limiting/threatening conditions and their families may benefit from this new service. It is anticipated that the Diana teams will work with existing services such as children's hospitals, outreach services, children's hospices, social services and education and voluntary agencies. A key element of this service will be the ability of Diana team members to work across professional and organizational boundaries to provide a seamless care service and promote the concept of 'joined-up working' (Hyman, 1998). Education in this specialty, preferably multidisciplinary education, is needed so that healthcare professionals in this field can share knowledge, skills and research findings and deliver up-to-date care based on clinical effectiveness.
本文介绍了戴安娜社区护理团队的工作，这是一项由卫生部资助的新的护士主导服务，旨在纪念威尔士王妃戴安娜的一生和工作。它将儿童姑息治疗确定为儿童护理领域中一个新兴的专业领域，并讨论了患有危及生命/有生命威胁疾病的儿童和年轻人及其家庭如何从这项新服务中受益。预计戴安娜团队将与儿童医院、外展服务、儿童临终关怀院、社会服务、教育及志愿机构等现有服务机构合作。这项服务的一个关键要素是戴安娜团队成员能够跨越专业和组织界限开展工作，以提供无缝护理服务，并推广“联合工作”的理念（海曼，1998年）。该专业需要开展教育，最好是多学科教育，以便该领域的医疗保健专业人员能够分享知识、技能和研究成果，并基于临床疗效提供最新的护理。
