Management Guidelines for Paediatric Healthcare Related Issues: Can We Reach Our Targeted Group?

摘要

We have 2 management guidelines published in this issue. For the one on atopic dermatitis, it was initiated by the Hong Kong College of Paediatricians and the contents are mainly adopted from the National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines with modification based on the local availability of selected medications. And the other one is on managing children with decrease conscious level of unknown cause. The review of this guideline was performed by the QA Subcommittee, COC Paediatrics of Hospital Authority and it was based on the Accident & Emergency Research Group Guidelines developed by the Nottingham University. In both articles, local relevant issues were high-lighted. Our review panel found that they are both important for the local paediatricians and we wish these guidelines can reach out to more clinicians and then applied to respective patient populations accordingly. That is how we can help to maintain our professional standard.
