Preparation and Management of Children and Young People with Individual Needs requiring Surgery or Procedures
New APAGBI Best Practice Guideline Published
Creating an inclusive healthcare culture is an important part of improving the healthcare experiences for children and young people, ensuring that they have equal access to care and that the teams and facilities available are specifically designed to meet their needs to achieve this. Children, young people and carers should be actively involved in the design of care pathways and any facilities.
This best practice guidance is designed to support the provision of services in any hospital or elective surgical hub which provides services for children and young people (0-18 years) with individual needs. It is intended to describe the necessary staffing, facilities and services which centres should have in place to deliver optimal care and experience for the children and their carers throughout the perioperative journey.
