Digital-driven service improvement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 
COVID-19 brought a lot of children's routine clinical services in the UK and a complete halt to some services in March 2020. The NHS had to radically change the way clinical services are provided with the rapid introduction of telemedicine, virtual consultations, and video conferencing facilities to support team working. This paper describes how Peterborough Child Development Centre rapidly redesigned the services with digital tools to continue offering neurodevelopmental and neurodisability services more virtually. We demonstrate how we adapted our approaches to assess and manage complex long-term conditions with improved quality and outcomes by using digital tools. The changes to the clinical processes and systems are here to stay beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and have the potential to revolutionise the services.
