We need further qualitative work (@ASKSNIFF) understanding the vital interplay between parents/carers and health care professionals regarding the acutely unwell child as there will continue to be serious untoward events if we don't acknowledge this challenge.

[ASK SNIFF @ASKSNIFF]

Let's develop these resources WITH parents instead of just for them.

[ASK SNIFF @ASKSNIFF]

New report highlighting the need for improved safety netting. 'It may be beneficial if the current resources and educational materials available
to parents and carers on assessment, advice and guidance for the unwell infant/
child, for example mobile apps, are reviewed.'

[ASK SNIFF @ASKSNIFF]

'It may be beneficial if further research and observational studies are carried out
to examine how listening to parents [or taking on board parents’ views/concerns]
impacts on clinical decision making and recognition of the sick infant/child.'

[Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) @theHSSIB]

Our new report shows that recognising serious illness in infants & young children remains a key patient safety risk across the NHS. Despite advances in treatment, infections remain the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5. Read the report >https://t.co/2RNhP4EnKd

https://t.co/qOhWFkPxNn are today launching our children's COVID artwork e-book. Read more here https://t.co/PTDyZNnLFX Children's art is simply amazing. Massive thanks to @mandiefoster12 for the idea for the book, @CarterBernie , Therese O'Sullivan and the INCFCC team. Pls RT

[Damian Roland @Damian_Roland]

@CCNatheart @Health_2gether @ASKSNIFF @doctorsanjay @SarahNeill7 Thanks Dave - there are some Australian approaches I think - not sure if @andrewjtagg @DrSimonCraig could help here.

One of the challenges is that ‘safety netting’ itself has a wide variety of meanings

This needs updating but some leads here: https://t.co/JvOSHzCSz8

[Damian Roland @Damian_Roland]

Red-flag symptoms were reported in 81 (6·0%) of 1349 patients.

Only two were felt to have been delayed in presenting and neither of these patients was admitted to hospital

It's reassuring that red flag features were not dismissed by parents

[Alison Tavare 💙 @AlisonTavare]

@ASKSNIFF @SarahNeill7 as discussed an opportunity to learn about #COVIDー19 and non COVID-19 but also review data on delayed presentations of sick children

[Margaret Tuite @MargaretTuite1]

With a child population of over one million, this department is absolutely necessary to ensure that children are properly considered, across all departments. Without #DCYAMustStay , it won't happen, and there's still much to be done.

[Professor Ursula Kilkelly @Ukilkelly]

@MargaretTuite1 Its impossible to imagine any other government department being considered for abolition, never mind one with such an important remit.

[Damian Roland @Damian_Roland]

Remarkable achievement.

Thank you @RCPCHtweets for support with paper extraction.

To @DFTBubbles team for hosting such an easy to access resource.

To our reviewers who’ve gone above & beyond to keep up with mammoth growth in publications

And to Ally for his superb leadership
