Results highlighted gaps within paediatric rotas, with not enough consultants present within the hospital during times of self-identified peak activity and poor links between primary care and the hospital child health service. You can download our report at the bottom of this page.
This audit report covers Facing the Future: Standards for acute general paediatric services and Facing the Future: Together for child health (for care outside the hospital). Both sets of standards lay out what is needed to deliver high quality, safe and sustainable services.
We welcome conversations with members, organisations and service planners on health.policy@rcpch.ac.uk.
In August 2024, we formed a working group to begin a project to update these two sets of standards. We surveyed members on aspects of the standards that went well and that need improvement - see our privacy notice below.
