In this section
The paediatric clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) presented in this app are developed to assist clinicians with decisions about appropriate health care for children and young people. They detail the assessment and management of many common (and some rare but important) conditions affecting children and have been developed for use in healthcare settings attended by children. They are developed by a multidisciplinary team of practising clinicians, based on the available evidence and consensus. Many of the guidelines are endorsed by the Paediatric Improvement Collaborative (PIC), indicating endorsement for use in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.
