NHS England is launching the world's largest early warning system for severe child illness within A&E departments across England. The National Paediatric Early Warning System (Pews) utilises a vital signs scoring system to identify when sick children are dangerously deteriorating and require urgent attention. While Pews is already implemented for inpatients, this winter marks the first time the system will be deployed specifically in A&E settings to improve the assessment of paediatric patients.
