Specialised paediatric endocrinology

This is a Respond and Advise Clinical Reference Group (CRG).

Specialised paediatric endocrinology services provide specialist care to children and young people with hormonal disorders, including growth and bone problems, which cannot be diagnosed or managed by general paediatricians.

Scope

This Clinical Reference Group (CRG) covers:

  • Services for children with complex endocrine conditions
  • Services for children with complex conditions related to diabetes

Membership

  • Maria Estebanez, Clinical Lead for Specialised Paediatric Endocrinology

Products

A key part of the CRG’s work is the delivery of the ‘products’ of commissioning. These are the tools used by the 10 Hub Commissioning Teams to contract services on an annual basis.

Service specifications

Service specifications are important in clearly defining the standards of care expected from organisations funded by NHS England to provide specialised care. The specifications have been developed by specialised clinicians, commissioners, expert patients and public health representatives to describe both core and developmental service standards. Core standards are those that all funded providers should be able to demonstrate, with developmental standards being those which may require further changes in practice over time to provide excellence in the field.

The following service specifications fall within the scope of this CRG:
