Redesign Urgent Care: paediatric pathway to flow navigation centres - review
The Redesign of Urgent Care programme seeks to promote significant transformational change in how urgent care can be delivered for the people of Scotland. A multidisciplinary short life working group was convened to consider the implications of including individuals aged 12 in this new pathway.
8. Summary of findings
- There is absence of evidence to inform what constitutes an "optimal pathway" for <12s.
- There is limited data from a pilot in NHS A&A which found the FNC was acceptable to parents/carers and staff and was not associated with any adverse outcomes
- The SLWG was able to examine key considerations and make recommendations on the specification below
- A simple model based on data provided to the SLWG was able to indicate an estimate of possible additional FNC activity if <12 year olds were included in FNC pathways
