We are proud to see the lessons from many years of practice shared in this new eBook. It was a pleasure working with Cecily M. Betz who did a beautiful job editing this collection of successful practice models in paediatrics from around the world. The chapter contributed by Natasha North and Minette Coetzee describes the Breatheasy Programme pioneered by Sr Jane Booth at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town. This programme makes it possible for children with tracheostomies in South Africa to be cared for at home with their families. In the chapter, Natasha and Minette also present the Care Through Family model, a research based approach to strengthening partnerships between nurses and family caregivers.
