Children's hospital services
Abstract
This section presents data relating to hospital services for children. Standard 6 of the NSF addresses children who are ill and states that children and young people will have access to appropriate advice and effective services which address their health, social, educational and emotional needs throughout the period of their illness. Standard 7 of the NSF focuses on children and young people in hospital and states that children and young people must receive high quality, evidence based hospital care developed through clinical governance and delivered in appropriate settings. Children's hospital services have been mapped in the children's services mapping since 2005.
The mapping collects data about:
- Paediatric surgery
- Specialist paediatric services
- Models of care in general paediatrics
- Diabetes services for children and young people delivered in general paediatrics
- Characteristics of paediatric emergency services
