Overview

The programme is mapped to the PCCS QUALITY STANDARDS FOR THE CARE OF CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN (6th Edition), (Paediatric Critical Care Society (PCCS) Standards 2021). The Standards cover the pathway for a critically ill or critically injured child from arrival at a Minor Injuries Unit, Walk-in Centre or Emergency Department. They include care within General Hospitals, the Specialist Paediatric Transport Service and Paediatric Intensive Care Units. Crucially, they recognise that General Hospital services must be prepared to transfer a child to a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit when, because of the urgency of the situation, waiting for the Specialist Paediatric Transport Service to arrive would introduce potentially dangerous delay. Such transfers must be carried out by appropriately trained and equipped staff.

Note: PCCS credit HD Level 1/2 if on wards/HD units and critical care level 3, if working in PCCU and students meet their assessments.
