| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
One ofour key aims is to ensure continued close collaboration with our referring hospitals across our region in order to support them in the initial stabilisation and management ofthe critically ill child. We do this by |
||||
| providing a comprehensive outreach education programme in conjunction |
|||||
| with | our NHS partners. | ||||
| Since April 2020 all of the outreach sessions have been delivered | |||||
| virtually | offering shorter more frequent sessions, which has been well | ||||
| received by our district general hospitals. | |||||
| The | scope of the education programme provided by CATS has increased |
||||
| dramatically with use ofvirtual platforms which has facilitated many more |
|||||
| doctors | and nurses being able to attend our sessions. | ||||
| The | charity supported the purchase ofan online package "Slido" used to |
||||
| support | our education programme which is used consistently in Ihe |
||||
| education we provide. |
|||||
| What we have managed to deliver has been incredible and down to |
|||||
| the | commitment ofour team. |
