We are at risk of loosing one children's ward into a "superward" and having
another redeveloped to be too small for daycase children. Forcing children
to be cared for on adult wards with a threat to paediatric nursing status
and quality of care.
Have you come across any good guidelines/standards for facilities for
children in hospital?
Thanks for any information you can pass on.
Cheers
Nick
