How the unit works

The case reporting process

  • An Orange Card with a list of conditions is sent each month either by post or electronically to over 3,400 consultant paediatricians and other specialists.
  • Clinicians return the card notifiying the BPSU of any cases seen or "nothing to report".
  • Clinicians are asked to keep a record of patients reported.
  • Reporting clinicians are contacted by study investigators with a short follow up questionnaire.
