Core Principles
Parents feel empowered about whether and when they need to seek the advice of a healthcare professional.
Parents are clearly signposted to appropriate healthcare services when required.
At every point of contact, the healthcare practitioner (doctor, nurse, paramedic, pharmacist) should have a clear understanding of the limits of their own competence and when and where to seek guidance.
Parents should receive consistent and appropriate advice across the whole urgent care system.
Standardisation of local referral pathways and clinical guidelines across the whole acute care system, which are understood by all healthcare practitioners.
Effective communication and information sharing between healthcare practitioners and services across the whole acute care system should be in place.
