    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Healthcare Management
    • Child Health Services

    Background:

    • The study examines changes in pediatric surgical care in Southampton between 1970 and 1976.
    • Key changes include increased use of day surgery facilities and the introduction of a pediatric home nursing team.

    Discussion:

    • The shift towards day surgery and early discharge has altered the care model for surgical children.
    • This evolution in practice reflects a move towards more efficient and potentially less disruptive care pathways.

    Key Insights:

    • The ratio of day patients to inpatients changed from 1:2 in 1970 to 1:1 in 1976.
    • The average inpatient stay for surgical children decreased from 6.6 days in 1970 to 5.7 days in 1976.

    Outlook:
