Apologies for a lack of communication recently. We have been 'a woman down' for the past 3 weeks so Sarah and Gill are trying to keep services going without too much disruption. We wish Kate a speedy recovery and hope to see her back in the library soon.
Things for the futureFacing the Future Together for Child Health is a new set of standards, developed jointly by the RCPCH, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).It builds on the Facing the Future: Standards for Acute General Paediatric Services expanding them to acute care outside the hospital. The standards apply across the unscheduled care pathway and aim to improve health care and outcomes for children and young people with acute illness.
Things about person centred, coordinated care
'My life, my support, my choice' is a narrative report on children and young people with complex lives, from their perspective and that of the people who are important to them. Commissioners and providers are encouraged to use this document as a tool to have their own conversations with children and young people about their lives, their dreams and goals, and the way they want to be supported.It is hoped that it may empower children & young people and those around them to challenge their local services, to start conversations with them, and get involved in designing services and support.Things in the library next week
