1/5 13th Jan 2011. Phone GP at 8am and get appt for later that day. Tell GP 'She's not herself since the virus. Doesn't want to play. Disinterested. Clingy. Does she need something to 'give her a boost and get her completely back to her old self' ? ...

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.

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

'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.'
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 >hsib.org.uk/investigations-a…

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: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/12…

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

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.

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