Trusted clinical guidance for children and young people’s services, now at your fingertips. Partners in Paediatrics (PiP) is a long-established, non-profit partnership of NHS organisations and clinicians dedicated to improving the quality, safety and accessibility of care for children and young people. For many years, PiP’s clinical guidelines were published in hard-copy format – a valuable resource, but one that was difficult to update as evidence and best practice evolved. The new PiP Guidelines App transforms this experience, providing clinicians with instant, mobile access to the most up-to-date guidance across all specialties in paediatrics. With the PiP Guidelines App you can: - Access the latest validated guidance for children’s and young people’s services, wherever you are. - Quickly search or browse by specialty, topic, or keyword. - Bookmark frequently used guidelines for fast reference. - Receive timely updates whenever guidance is reviewed or revised – ensuring you always work from the latest version. - Access on mobile, tablet or desktop The PiP Guidelines App replaces the traditional printed PiP handbook, eliminating the delays and limitations of hard-copy editions. Updates can now be published instantly, giving clinicians confidence that the information they rely on is accurate, consistent and evidence-based. About Partners in Paediatrics (PiP): Established in 1998, PiP brings together NHS Trusts, clinicians, commissioners, universities and service leads from across the West Midlands and beyond. Through fourteen children’s and young people’s networks, PiP promotes collaboration, innovation and shared learning across professional and organisational boundaries. By providing access to consistent, high-quality guidance, PiP supports clinical teams to deliver safe, effective care and ensures that the voices and needs of children and young people remain central to service design and delivery. Subscription Information Access to the PiP Guidelines App is available via an annual subscription.
