Abstract
While education of specialists in paediatric palliative care (PC) and palliative medicine remains an important priority, it is also imperative to upscale education efforts for other healthcare professionals, policy makers, and governments in order to integrate PC into the care of an estimated 21 million children globally. PC education should be available to all child-focused healthcare professionals and beyond in order to correct misconceptions that threaten to impede delivery of adequate PC to children. That can be done through advocacy and through mass media, as well as through targeted educational initiatives based on an understanding of adult education theory. Novel online and other teaching strategies offer the opportunity to reach unprecedented numbers of people.
