Our Team
We are a large interdisciplinary team working across provinces to provide care and services for children with SNI and PIUO, while collecting data to uncover how families with similar experiences may be best helped in the future. We believe the right approach to managing pain and irritability is multifaceted and requires involvement from various caretaker roles. Every team member is important in carrying out our research and fulfilling our goals.

Dr. Siden has more than 20 years of experience in pediatric palliative care and pain management for children living with health complexity and life-threatening diseases. Many of the children Dr. Siden sees battle uncomfortable and painful symptoms as a result of their condition, some of them difficult to explain. Finding new treatments and tools for assessing and managing this pain is important for these children.
