Guidance: Achieving consensus advice for paediatricians and other health professionals: on prevention, recognition and management of conflict in paediatric practice.

Conflict can arise between healthcare professionals and the parents of children not only where there is disagreement on the withdrawal or withholding of life sustaining treatment but also in more routine general care.  This paper suggests practices which may reduce disharmony.  This includes preventative management, identification of conflict, early management of conflict, escalation and conflict management.
