Service configuration
The College recognises the importance of ensuring that services for children are designed to provide high quality care as close to home as possible.
National health policy changes, the proposed reforms to the NHS, changes to the way that doctors work and improvements in our understanding of disease mean that services need to adapt and respond to demands and needs.
Here you will find details of the College's work to model the future configuration of paediatric services, plus relevant policy news and resources to help our members, health service managers and the wider public understand the issues and considerations for service configuration, monitoring and development.
