A high proportion of NEL patients attend the site, and if admitted over 40 per cent of them had a length of stay of one day. The pathway changed the process to enable 24 hour discharge, a reduction in inpatient bed base (from 20 to 16 beds) and shortened the length of stay. Patient and parent satisfaction was excellent.

The judges felt that this was a good design which continues to develop in response to patient feedback. The team should be proud of their achievement.
