Projects

 Clinical Quality Indicators for Specialist Children's Services

The Women and Children's Health Information Programme have established a project team to work in collaboration with the National Steering Group for the National Delivery Plan for Children and Young People in Scotland (Scottish Government, 2007) to develop clinical quality indicators for Specialist Children's Services. The indicators will allow services to demonstrate for themselves, and to others, what aspects of quality have improved for children and young people.
