North Thames Paediatric Network
The North Thames Paediatric Network is a Children and Young Person’s (CYP) strategic network formed of multiple operational delivery networks and workstreams. The Network prides itself on being a true collaboration of service providers working to improve the health and care of children and young people in North London and the North Thames area.
The Network’s 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.
