All practitioners working with children are advised to read the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's Child Protection Companion.

A Primary Care Accommodation Development Group has been established to support practitioners wishing to change or extend their premises. This paper outlines the process by which the practice registers a proposal with NHS Leeds, and how we form a decision to support the development and/or additional associated costs.
