The Chief Executive of the NHS, David Nicholson, has commissioned Sir Ian Kennedy to explore the cultural obstacles that can stand in the way of sustained improvement in the provision of care for children and to consider what can be done to develop the NHS’ contribution to safeguarding children. The terms of reference can be downloaded here.
BACCH has submitted a response to Sir Ian to address the key issues highlighted in the terms of reference.
The RCPCH has embarked on a new and ambitious project to promote child health in the 0-5 age group. Leading a multi-professional consortium, the College will work with e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) to develop an e-learning resource to support the Department of Health’s ‘Healthy Child Programme (HCP)’ by December 2010. This project follows on from the success of the Adolescent Health Project (AHP), an earlier collaboration between the RCPCH, e-LfH and other Royal Colleges. To get involved in the project, or find out more information, please visit the e-LfH website or email Daniel Riddell, HCP project manager.
