Open Door to CAU (Children’s Assessment Unit)
Overview:
The Open Door system provides a pathway for children with complex or ongoing medical needs to be directly reviewed by the Children’s Assessment Unit (CAU) when concerns arise.
Referral process:
A clinician (such as a consultant, specialist nurse, or paediatrician) identifies that a child has complex needs and requests that they be added to the Open Door register.
Once a child is on this register, their parents/carers, Community Children’s Nurse (CCN), or GP can make a referral directly to the CAU for assessment.
To arrange a review, they simply phone the CAU ward directly - no new referral form or GP appointment is required.
Purpose:
This system ensures that children with complex or unstable medical conditions can be assessed quickly by the paediatric team, avoiding unnecessary delays or emergency department visits.
