Get updated when we publish Facing the Future emergency care standards 2025

About

These standards aim to ensure that Emergency Departments are integrated with UEC systems and ensure children are seen by the right people, at the right place and in the right setting.

They have become an established feature of the paediatric emergency medicine landscape and have evolved in tandem with the significant changes in emergency care practice over the past 25 years. The standards were last fully updated in 2018.

The 5th edition of these standards is expected for publication in autumn 2025. We will also publish a audit toolkit later in the year and be updating the wider Facing the Future suite in spring 2026.
