The initial drivers of the Strategic review of Children’s Surgery and Anaesthesia? Started with medical Directors and providers raising this as a priority with commissioners due to the workforce challenges that providers were facing. In 2012 a self-assessment was undertaken by local healthcare providers against the Royal College Standards for Paediatric Surgery and Anaesthesia.

Following this…… We asked hospitals to look at the national core standards for providing children’s surgery and assess how they were doing against these standards We gathered data on the numbers of people needing the service and assessed what the numbers might look like in the future We asked hospitals to gather information on their current workforce We met with hospitals to assess and agree all the information and their current challenges We held a series of workshops with staff and stakeholders to look at and agree the issues We worked with clinical experts to agree possible high level options to consider for the future.

The development of the Case for Change including: Engaging with key stakeholders Undertaking a baseline assessment of current services Forming consensus of the issues Identifying best practice models Specifying the care pathways that should be in place to meet standards Exploring strengths and benefits of potential models Considering our populations needs for the future Seeking external clinical scrutiny of the work to date (Senate)
