Since inception in 2001 the program has expanded considerably, and the focus has extended beyond keeping children and young adults alive, to improving clinical outcomes and quality of life. During 2016 a wide range of initiatives have been developed in patient and family education, health professional training, mentoring and relevant clinical research.
