Understanding Remote Consultation Usage and Continuity of Care in Children and Young People in NWL

Imperial College London
Date of Ethical Approval: May 2026
Project Identifier: SDE_LDN_PROJ_264

Project Overview

The study assesses how digital NHS care (e.g. remote consultations) impacts access, continuity, quality, efficiency, and outcomes for children, analysing inequalities using WSIC data to inform equitable, evidence‑based service design.

Public Benefit Statement

This would be the first study examining patterns of remote consultation and continuity or care in a broad population in the UK. Despite their widespread usage, there is very little quantitative evidence on utilisation and impacts of remote consultations within children and young people. The findings should provide insight into recommendations for service delivery in the Northwest London population. Results will be disseminated through academic publications and conferences.
