Improving health outcomes for our children
The first SESLHD Paediatric Services Review Workshop was held in April, bringing together clinicians, managers and executives of community health and mental health services, emergency departments, paediatric wards, outpatients and ambulatory services across the District.
The workshop brought these services together to ensure that paediatric service planning and prioritisation within SESLHD addresses the needs of our paediatric patients.
Discussion focused on the challenges involved in providing services to children. It explored inequities that exist with service provision, workforce challenges and potential mismatches between demand and availability of services. The workshop also highlighted the innovations that are already supporting service delivery for children in SESLHD.
