title: Standard setting in paediatrics.
abstract: Dissatisfaction with pre-admission procedures for day-case paediatric admissions led nurses in Gwent to adopt the Donabedian model of standard setting to express the quality of service they wished to provide. The outcome has been so successful, claim the authors, that plans have been made to review all pre-admission procedures in the same way.
