Safety recommendation
HSIB recommends that the Chair of the NHS System-wide Paediatric Observations Tracking (SPOT) Programme ensures that the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, community NHS 111 providers and primary care services are integral members of the NHS SPOT Programme.
Response:
We are currently scoping Phase 2 of SPOT, which includes the emergency services: ambulance services, NHS 111, emergency departments and Accident & Emergency. In early 2022 we will continue to engage with relevant stakeholders. A working group will be assembled, and the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives and NHS 111 providers will be represented. Our chair, who is the Paediatric Lead and Trustee at the College of Paramedics is currently liaising with one of the representatives for the ambulance services.
