`26/10/2016
All NHSScotland staff now have access to Paediatric Care Online (PCO UK). This is a new web-based decision support system from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, designed to help all health professionals to manage childhood illness. It provides immediate access to evidence-based information and action points to inform decisions at point of care. This resource is on trial for NHSScotland to end of December 2016. Depending on usage, the trial may be extended to end of March 2017. The trial is supported by the Scottish Government Maternal and Child Health Unit and has been negotiated with help from the decision support project lead in Scottish Government eHealth.
