Clinical Practice Documents - Paediatric
The documents below are for health care professionals.
It should be noted that these documents reflect what is currently regarded as a safe and appropriate approach to care. However, as in any clinical situation there may be factors which cannot be covered by a single document. These documents should be used as a guide, rather than as a complete authorative statement of procedures to be followed in respect of each individual presentation. It does not replace the need for the application of clinical judgment to each individual presentation.
