Our health and care system needs to adapt to the changing care needs of children and young people. One in ten of our children suffer mental health problems, which can impact for life if not addressed early. A fifth are obese by the time they leave primary school, with diabetes already consuming around 10 per cent of the health budget This video focuses on how we can deliver care differently for children and young people. In North West London they have set up GP child health hubs which brings together primary care, mental health acute and community services to look at all aspects of a child's health and wellbeing. The result is more personalised, integrated care which is not only better for children and their families but is also more rewarding for staff. Connecting Care for Children is a Paediatric Integrated Care Programme. The programme introduced GP Child Health Hubs across North West London, uniting paediatric consultants, GPs and other clinicians - with input from patients - to improve child health.
