North Thames Paediatric Network
The North Thames Paediatric Network is a strategic and operational Children and Young Person’s (CYP) strategic and clinical network and prides itself on being a true collaboration of service providers working to improve the health and care of children and young people in the North Thames area.
The vision is to function as a virtual children’s hospital across the region, providing equitable access to outstanding care at the right place and at the right time.
At our very core we aim to:
- Place children and their families at the centre of decision making.
- Listen to, collaborate with and support service providers within the network.
- Act independently of organisations, thinking as a network partner.
- Share data, information, best practice and learnings to support our network goals.
We aim to leave a legacy of better care for our children and young people by working in partnership to deliver equitable high-quality care across the region.
Our Network Hospitals
Our Network consists of 24 hospitals providing paediatric and adolescent care, of which 8 offer tertiary or specialist level care to children and young people. We work in a multi-disciplinary approach with work programmes informed by regional issues, the NHS Long Term Plan, Core20Plus5, national GIRFT reviews and national specifications.
