Network Data & Systems
Here at the Network we utilise an array of data collection, analysis and visual resources. The data is used to equip ourselves with an up to date understanding of the regions complex workings. This page serves as a signpost to some of the essential systems that power our understanding of the network.
Below, you will find an interactive tool for complex pathways, NTPN software resources and links to other NHSE resources we commonly utilise.

Useful tools for clinicians
Useful tools for clinicians
After reviewing pathway feedback from our stakeholders, it became apparent how often in times of increased clinical pressure on the wards, it is difficult to locate the latest referral pathway guidance’s for further specialist care and then a challenge to ascertain the most suitable contact information to make a referral. Especially for new staff, out of hours and complex pathways.
Guided by our clinical leads, at the North Thames Paediatric Network, we have developed an easy to navigate, interactive tool to help clinicians quickly identify the established pathway. Utilising filters to specify the clinical needs, the tool will readjust the map and provide a visual of the pathway.
The tool includes a Map of NTPN units with a selection of filters to show which unit provides which paediatric specialist care, Pathway finder tool and a useful referral contact page.

MediTrack
MediTrack is an NHS tool designed to record and review capacity and demand on paediatric wards, including critical care units. It enables stakeholders to input bed status, peer view, and download data for purposes such as strategic planning, resource allocation, and risk assessment. Access is granted upon request from a Matron or Senior Sister to the NTPN Data Manager.
NetTrack
NetTrack – NTPN has developed NetTrack, an online form for health professionals across our Network membership to submit pathway issues. We want to use NetTrack as a mechanism to develop a culture of shared learning. More details on access and process can be found on the link below.
Dashboard
Access to the NTPN Dashboard is limited exclusively to NTPN employees. This tool aligns multiple NHS data streams (SUS, HES, NDRS etc.) to focus on the networks key priorities in each speciality. No Patient Identifiable data is used, however some data streams do restrict sharing of the data.
