    Area of Science:

    • Paediatric Nursing
    • Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Care
    • Healthcare Service Improvement

    Background:

    • The establishment of a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role in paediatric ear, nose, and throat (ENT) nursing aims to optimize patient and family support.
    • Current service delivery models may present challenges in care coordination and consistent communication for children requiring ENT interventions.

    Discussion:

    • The CNS role facilitates a unified point of contact for families, streamlining communication and reducing potential confusion.
    • Implementation of nurse-led pre-admission clinics enhances patient preparation and informed consent processes.
    • Educational initiatives, including study days on tracheostomy care and planned video resources, aim to improve family understanding and management of complex conditions.

    Key Insights:

    • Centralized family support through a dedicated CNS improves the patient journey in paediatric ENT care.
    • Proactive measures like pre-admission clinics and specialized training enhance safety and preparedness.
    • The CNS effectively bridges clinical care, family education, and service development.

    Outlook:

    • Further development of educational materials, such as the planned video, will expand patient and family resources.
    • The CNS role has the potential to be a model for improving specialized paediatric nursing services across different disciplines.
    • Continued evaluation of the impact of these service improvements on patient outcomes and family satisfaction is warranted.
