Dear All,

 

Here is a summary of responses.  With grateful thanks to Caroline Timothy, Jane Coyte, Seona Hamilton and Melanie Hodson:

 

There is the Paediatric Acute Response Team (PART) in Warrington. The team’s purpose is to see children with self-limiting conditions to try and avoid inappropriate or unnecessary A&E attendance or admissions to hospital. Importantly for the purposes of this request it involves, ‘paediatric nurses from Warrington Hospital are working alongside nurses from Bridgewater Community Healthcare to provide a seamless service, with support from the CCG’.  More details can be found here...

Dear all,

 

I’ve been asked for information on approaches that health economies have taken, to coordinate care for children with complex or long-term conditions.  The new ‘vanguard sites’ seem to be the latest step in that direction and I’m aware of some multi-agency services for children and young people.  

 

I was wondering, however, if anyone knows of any paediatric partnership schemes (for complex/long term conditions , already operating across a local health economy?

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Kind Regards,
