Abstract
There is growing scrutiny regarding the quality of inpatient care for adolescents in England, and whether services can meet their unique medical and psychosocial needs.1 Adolescents represent a substantial proportion of paediatric health service users and have a rising chronic disease burden. Adolescents with chronic conditions have high unplanned admission rates and longer hospital stays than younger groups. Despite broad agreement that inpatient services should cater specifically to adolescents’ needs, there are sparse data available detailing what is actually happening on the ground.
