The COVID-19 pandemic altered the way many people worked. Remote and creative ways were favoured utilised for consultation activities. In this paper, we draw attention to how have used methods over teleconferencing platform 'ZOOM' consult with children their parents when unable them face-to-face. We document a clear timeline of worked together co-create an animation information sheet about receiving outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). identify opportunities challenges faced.
Chronic pain (≥3 months) creates pain-related challenges that may negatively affect how young adults perceive themselves, and, indeed, they often report feeling different compared to peers and prospective romantic partners. Most studies of relationships in living with a long-term condition (including pain), do not consider the perspective their partner.

Failure to recognize and respond clinical deterioration in a timely effective manner is an urgent safety concern, driving the need for early identification systems be embedded care of children hospital. Pediatric warning (PEWS) or PEW scores alert health professionals (HPs) signs deterioration, trigger review escalate as needed. scoring allows HPs record child's vital other key data including parent concern.

Despite an identified need for comprehensive effective nursing, there is notable gap understanding delivery content training curricula. A mixed method, online anonymous self-report survey design adopted....
<h3>Objectives</h3> Sepsis is a leading cause of deterioration to unplanned transfer critical care (UTCC) in hospitalised children, but there are few published studies evaluating the predictive performance severity scores outside care. We aimed compare eight different predicting UTCC and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) children treated for sepsis. <h3>Methods</h3> Eligible inpatients who were sepsis before having UTCCs identified prospectively between 1 March 2018 28 February...
Aims & Objectives: The recognition of sepsis in children remains difficult. Our aim was to determine if implementation electronic PEWS (Careflow Vitals) and a secure encrypted communication system Connect), with proactive screening bundle prompts, would lead reduction the number unplanned transfers critical care (UTCC) due sepsis. Methods: An age-specific paediatric early warning (PEWS) implemented tertiary children's hospital. software prompted pro-active monitoring. When suspicion is...
Introduction Sleep and epilepsy have an established bidirectional relationship yet only one randomised controlled clinical trial has assessed the effectiveness of behavioural sleep interventions for children with epilepsy. The intervention was successful, but delivered via face-to-face educational sessions parents, which are costly non-scalable to population level. Changing Agendas on Sleep, Treatment Learning in Epilepsy (CASTLE) Sleep-E addresses this problem by comparing...

This co-creative consultation work was conducted address need, identified by in previous research study, for enhanced preparation information about OPAT. <h3>Methods</h3> Children (n=4) who had received OPAT were invited participate clinicians team at children's...
Abstract Background Paediatric early warning systems (PEWS) alert health professionals to signs of a child’s deterioration with the intention triggering an urgent review and escalating care. They can reduce unplanned critical care transfer, cardiac arrest, death. Electronic may be superior paper-based systems. The objective study was critically explore initial experiences perceptions about acceptability DETECT e-PEWS, what factors influence its acceptability. Methods A descriptive...
Background Paediatric early warning systems (PEWS) are a means of tracking physiological state and alerting healthcare professionals about signs deterioration, triggering clinical review and/or escalation care children. A proactive end-to-end deterioration solution (the DETECT surveillance system) with an embedded e-PEWS that included sepsis screening was introduced across tertiary children’s hospital.

Electronic early warning systems have been used in adults for many years to prevent critical deterioration events (CDEs). However, implementation of similar technologies monitoring children across the entire hospital poses additional challenges. While concept such is promising, their cost-effectiveness not established use children. In this study we investigate potential direct cost savings arising from DETECT surveillance system.Data were collected at a tertiary children's United Kingdom. We...
