Pan Thames Paediatric Long Term Ventilation ( LTV) Programme

Empowering Partnerships for Pediatric LTV Care Excellence

Pan Thames Paediatric Long Term Ventilation (LTV) Prorgamme

The Pan Thames paediatric long term ventilation (LTV) programme is commissioned by NHS England and is jointly managed by the South and North Thames Paediatric Operational Delivery Networks.

Our programme works in partnership with providers, commissioners and patients, to   optimise care in hospitals and the community for babies, children and young people on LTV  across London, Kent and Medway, Surrey Heartlands, Sussex and the bordering East of England Trusts.

 Our mission is to transform service delivery of paediatric LTV (Tracheostomy and Non Invasive Ventilation) to reduce the time babies, children and young people on LTV spend in hospital and to maximise high-quality care and time at home.

 

    About the Network

    Our education and training service provides specialist expertise and help to make care in the community as safe as possible.
