Moss AL

BACKGROUND: Hampshire et al. (2004) have recently reported on the variation in use of the Personal Child Health Record (PCHR) (The Red Book). This study aims to add further data to the discussion. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the proportion of parents bringing the Red Book to a hospital surgical outpatient appointment. METHODS: An audit was performed over 4 months ending 14 July 2004. This involved the author noting whether parents brought the Red Book to the Paediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery clinics, on different sites and including specialist multidisciplinary clinics. 200 consecutive attendees were reviewed.
