Feverish illness in children: discharge advice sheet

This advice considers implementation issues that are specific to the guideline on Feverish illness in children. It aims to provide practical advice to help those responsible for planning and implementing the guideline. It will help implementers identify recommendations in the guideline that are not part of current practice, and suggests actions to be taken. The advice should be used alongside the costing analysis and slide set.

A discharge advice sheet has been developed for use by clinical services when discharging a child with fever.  The sheet contains useful information for parents/carers on how to look after the child at home.

The Institute would welcome feedback from users to inform the development of future implementation tools. Please email your comments to implementation@nice.org.uk
