Venue: ICO Conference Centre

London
W1T 3DD

Date: 29 Sep 2014

Synopsis: This conference produced in association with, and chaired by Dr Andy Spencer, Clinical Director, West Midlands Maternity and Children’s Strategic Clinical Network will focus on maximising the potential of clinical networks for children.

Details:

"Maternity and children’s services are one of the four service areas for which Strategic Clinical Networks1 (SCN) have been designated in England. Is this latest introduction to the new commissioning framework good news or something that will hardly impinge on the working lives of most paediatricians? More importantly, will this impact on the health outcomes for babies, children and young people (CYP)? Certainly there is much room for improvement; across the UK there remains huge variation in both health and service quality for children… SCNs are engines for change across complex systems of care; as such, they provide immense opportunity to improve quality of care for children and families. This requires major changes to the way care is delivered. The SCN teams can provide energy, innovation, intelligence, leadership and ‘buy in’ from commissioners, but strong support and cooperation is needed from those on the front line if SCNs are to succeed." Dr Andy Spencer, Clinical Director, West Midlands Maternity and Children’s Strategic Clinical Network 2014
