Although recognised by policy incentives shaping children’s services, research and service
development for children with complex healthcare needs have received limited attention.
Both health-care professionals and families of those children affected frequently report
fragmented care and unmet needs in the literature. Not only is the wellbeing of the family
and health of the child jeopardised, but also the lack of consistent service coordination between
diagnosis, impairment, functional need or disability, directly contributes to a lack of data for
the subgroup of children with complex healthcare needs. In this scoping review, key themes are
identified, proposing priorities for innovation of future services. It is clear from the literature,
longitudinal data analysis providing a more accessible platform for service evaluation and
improvement, specialist training for key workers, and further research around definitions and
classification systems, is lacking. / White Rose Scholarship
