Maternity & Paediatrics project

The Maternity & Paediatrics project is managed by Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP).

Please forward your enquiries to susanne.cox@dh.gsi.gov.uk or david.wells@dh.gsi.gov.uk.

Care Services Improvement Partnership was created to support service improvement and developments in health and social care across a range of services.

The Maternity & Paediatric project responds to initiatives such as the Children’s NSF, Shifting the Balance of Power, Agenda for Change, the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts and the European Working Time Directive.

An A5 booklet 'Working the night shift: preparation, survival and recovery - A guide for junior doctors', covers when and where to sleep, how to improve alertness, the use of alcohol, caffeine and sleeping pills, and when to use public transport instead of driving home. This booklet will be distributed to junior doctors across the NHS and can also be downloaded below.
