Hi all,

I wanted to share with this group our proposal which has currently been shortlisted for Q Exchange in case it is of interest.

We are hoping to deliver an important piece of research looking into children and young people in crisis presenting at A+E. If successful we and our project partners – Harrow Council, NHS North West London ICB, and Imperial College London – plan to:

Identify at-risk children for early intervention
Provide integrated, personalised support
Reduce emergency admissions and hospital stays
We very much welcome any thoughts on things we might do to build on our current proposal, as well as any ideas about people, organisations or projects working in similar areas we should be aware of and connect with – we’ve already had some good suggestions from Q Members.

If this issue challenge does resonate with what you’re seeing, we’d very much welcome your vote when voting goes live tomorrow too: 

Thank you!
