Clinical Practice

Consultant-Led Ward Rounds

Children's ward rounds should be led by a consultant and occur every morning and evening.

Nurse Attendance at Clinical Interactions

The accountable nurse should, insofar as is possible, attend at every interaction between a doctor and child patient.

Clinician Attendance at Post-Mortem Discussions

Where possible, treating clinicians should attend for clinico-pathological discussions at the time of post-mortem examination and thereafter upon request.

Reporting Clinical Practice Changes

Trusts should bring significant changes in clinical practice to the attention of the HSCB with expedition.
