We developed these guidelines for use by healthcare staff in hospital settings. These can be downloaded and added to hospital intranet sites, and used as resources in teaching and education settings. We want to acknowledge our colleagues and international collaborators who have helped to translate these guidelines into other languages. We are keen to make these resources as widely available as possible – if you would like to offer an additional translation please get in contact with us! There are other resources available by clicking on the resources tab in the left hand sidebar.
The following resources are available for free download by clicking on links below:
- Guidelines – in English and other languages
- Parent information leaflet for use in hospital settings
- Set of powerpoint teaching slides – designed to be used in small group education sessions
- Brief 2-sided leaflet with summary of practice points from guideline – can be given out at teaching session
It is possible to share these documents/files with other staff in your hospitals and units. Please let other hospitals know, but rather than simply sharing the documents, please ask them to register themselves so we have contact details. That will allow us to notify all users of updates as we make additional resources available e.g. additional film clips, resources for parents and families.
