Infant, children and young people's experience of health care

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence -
This consultation states that the ideal approach to be taken when treating children cannot be extrapolated directly from adult services. The focus of this guideline is on the experience of babies, children and young people but it is recognised that parents or carers play a key role and the views of parents or carers will be taken into consideration when developing this guideline. It covers all settings where NHS or local authority commissioned health care services are provided. The issues covered by the consultation include communications, consent, access to health care, advocacy and support, patient involvement, the health care environment, and continuity and coordination of care. The consultation closes on 18 January 2019.
