Luxembourg Association for Children in Hospital jobs and careers

About Luxembourg Association for Children in Hospital

LACH is a registered nonprofit organization committed to promoting a child-friendly healthcare approach which is rights-based, child-focused and ensures children’s participation in healthcare decisions affecting them, taking into account their abilities, as well as the active involvement of the family. We aim to enhance pediatric healthcare experiences in the Grand Duchy by promoting and implementing evidence-based child-friendly healthcare practices which serve as buffering protective factors against the negative outcomes associated with potentially traumatic healthcare encounters. LACH aims to serve as a support for clinics treating children by enhancing their ability to implement optimal child-friendly care through providing resources including but not limited to: • 1. Clinician child-friendly healthcare and non-pharmacological pain management training. • 2. Funding child life specialists. • 3. Increasing access to play and child-friendly environments. • 4. Fostering research and collaboration on children's rights in healthcare. We in Luxembourg have an opportunity to fulfill our obligations to evidenced-based child-friendly healthcare standards and further integrate rights-based pediatric best-practices into our hospitals by learning from existing models in neighboring European countries and globally, such as the child life specialist profession, and to participate with other expert networking groups and conferences where the Grand Duchy is not yet represented. Understanding that creating alignment and synergy between interventions, organizations and individuals is crucial to effective child and family-centered healthcare, we forged passion with our multidisciplinary pediatric healthcare expertise to form the Luxembourg Association for Children in Hospital (LACH). We thank you for your contribution to enhance pediatric healthcare experiences for children and their families in the Grand Duchy! Learn more at: www.lach.lu
