We are a group of GPs and paediatricians in North West London who have created guidelines on the ‘top 10’ common paediatric presentations. This project was prompted by the fact that we noticed the majority of referrals to secondary care for children fall within a small number of common conditions and presenting symptoms.
We felt that by creating easy to use guidelines, we can support GPs in managing these conditions in the community where possible, improving quick access to appropriate investigations for children and increasing GP confidence in when and where to refer.
We would really value your feedback on a selection of those we have created.
