3 Introduction Within a healthcare system inevitably challenged by the demands of adult health needs, particularly in the context of an ageing population, specific and conscious attention needs to be given to ensure that the very different health needs of children and young people are prioritised and addressed. Emergency care of acutely ill or injured children and young people involves a wide range of unscheduled care services offered in hospitals and community. It includes not only specialist emergency services provided by accident and emergency departments in general and paediatric hospitals, but also those offered by minor injuries/illness units, out-of-hours care providers and GP services. The Child Health Support Group (CHSG) i was set up in 2000 with the remit of accessing professional expertise in driving forward improvements in child health and child health services across Scotland. The Group commissioned reports in several key areas, including emergency care. Emergency Care a Consultation on Emergency Care for Ill and Injured Young People in Scotland, prepared by a group chaired by Dr Tom Beattie of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh, was published in The report sets out the basis for a national, co-ordinated process through which the care needs of acutely ill or injured children and young people can be identified and addressed. The report clearly recognises that services in Scotland must change to meet the ongoing needs of children and young people. Change must be based on a co-ordinated framework, and the framework should be supported by competency-based education. A tiered framework of education extending from foundation (or core ) level through intermediate to specialist is set out in the Emergency Care report, and an adaptation is illustrated in Figure 1. This document presents the competencies required by practitioners working in settings providing emergency care to acutely ill or injured children and young people at core level. i The CHSG was succeeded by the Children and Young People s Health Support Group (CYPHSG) in

It provides a structure with which: services, organisations, teams and individual practitioners can benchmark their current performance and identify future training needs education providers can design focused curricula practitioners competencies can be maintained and developed over time. Front-line clinical staff should be able to identify a need to achieve proficiency across all domains and competencies set out in the framework. 4
5 The competency framework has been developed through an inclusive and participative process under the aegis of NHS Education for Scotland. Over 40 professionals across a range of disciplines and specialties who contribute to the development and delivery of emergency care services for children and young people in Scotland attended a two-day workshop at which the domains, draft competency statements and indicators were formulated. A wider national consultation followed, resulting in refinement of the competencies and the framework contained in this document. Children s needs were uppermost in the attentions of the competency developers, and a representation of the key elements of the competencies specifically designed for children is included at Annex A. The illustrations were supplied by Graham Ogilvie. It also reflects and has been heavily influenced by the Skills for Health Emergency Care Competence Framework, particularly EC 7, Assess and Determine the Health Status and Needs of Children or Young People Presenting for Emergency Assistance (Version 5, April 2004). Competency statements from this framework have been instrumental in the development of the competencies set out in this document, which have been developed specifically to match the needs of the Scottish context. The competency framework reflects and complements the vision for paediatric services in Scotland set out in Delivering for Health, the Scottish Executive s policy for the NHS in Scotland. It takes its place as part of a raft of measures focused on making emergency care services for children and young people safer, more co-ordinated, and more clinically effective. 5
6 How the competencies can be used The competencies have three dimensions: domain the broad area under which relevant competencies are categorised competency the statement of competence to which individuals, teams and services should aspire indicators elements of behaviour and performance against which competency achievement can be benchmarked. The core competencies can be used by: practitioners, to benchmark progress and identify learning needs clinical teams, to identify current strengths and weaknesses service managers, to benchmark individual and team practice educators, to guide course design for the care of acutely ill and injured children and young people. Individuals using the competency documents should: review their experience and practice to date, identifying relevant skills and knowledge appraise themselves against relevant competency statements, identifying those that are not met agree with their manager or supervisor and education provider a programme that meets their learning needs to achieve all competencies relevant to their post and position set goals and an action plan to achieve the desired competencies collect documented evidence of achievement in meeting identified competencies. There will always be debate about the order that the indicators should appear under each competency. The appropriateness of order will be determined by each clinical situation, and as they are sequenced in this document will not necessarily be the order in which they will be executed in practice. 6
7 Core competencies for the care of acutely ill and injured children and young people Domain Competency Indicators A. Assessment A.1 Assess the child or young person presenting for explain the assessment process to the child or young person and those involved in their care and obtain the necessary agreement and consent ii emergency assistance enable the child or young person and those involved in their care to seek advice and express any concerns about the assessment process ii communicate with and actively listen to the child or young person and those involved in their care in a way that is appropriate to their age, understanding and preference take steps to ensure safety and minimise risks to yourself, the child or young person and others in the immediate environment obtain as much information as possible about the circumstances leading up to the child or young person requiring emergency assistance including any pre-existing conditions that may influence his or her health needs elicit an accurate clinical and social history from the child/young person and or parent/carer ii can differentiate normal and abnormal findings from the clinical examination use discretion and respect throughout the assessment, balancing the rights of the child or young person, their families and with those involved in their care minimise any unnecessary discomfort and encourage the child or young person, and any carer with them, to participate as fully as possible in the process ii While this standard is required to achieve competence it is recognised that there will be situations in which immediate intervention is required, and that this will affect the degree to which the indicator is met. 7
