News and events
Podcast on child health inequalitiesTwo innovative teams tell us about their work to better understand the impact of poverty on children and young people’s health, and design NHS services with targeted support.
Annual review2022 was a busy year where we sought to #ShiftTheDial on health inequalities, launched a new RCPCH Learning platform, led on policy work across the four nations and so much more.
What we have done
RCPCH and the National Children and Young People’s Diabetes Network established this programme in April 2018 to help drive outcomes improvements and encourage service change in paediatric diabetes care in England and Wales.
We set out to improve multidisciplinary care for children and young people with diabetes in the NHS, reduce unwarranted variations and involve families in service improvement in a developmental way.
We made innovative adaptions to keep paediatric diabetes on the radar. Since the start of the pandemic, we ran our peer reviews and the QI Collaborative virtually, using feedback to support all participating teams.
Our sincere thanks to all who participated so professionally and enthusiastically.
Teams assessed themselves against a set of clinical measures, providing evidence as support. Our external verification provided a consistent check.
We trained and supported health professionals to meet with service teams, colleagues, patients and families to determine compliance, explore barriers and identify good practice.
