Pan Thames Paediatric Long Term Ventilation Network
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.
