We’ll be at Scottish Pediatric Society St Andrew’s Day symposium on 22 November in Edinburgh rcpch.ac.uk/nations/scotla…. Clinicians with views on kids’ hospital admissions of <24 hours, come & see us! We’ll be the ones with the Flamingos!

The Flamingo study is looking at why unwell children need a short stay in hospital of less than 24 hours. We're looking at the Scottish figures on hospital stays & will be speaking with NHS staff, children & families about their experiences & views too.

Looking forward to Scottish Pediatric Society St Andrew’s Day symposium tomorrow in Edinburgh rcpch.ac.uk/nations/scotla…. Paediatricians with views on kids’ hospital admissions of <24 hours, come & talk with us! Look for the Flamingos!

Finally got round to doing a SIMD by health board plot today. It is actually really interesting. GG & C slightly smoothed compared to Glasgow city council reflecting the addition of East Dun and East Renf datazones. However, still a big difference compared to Lothian!
