title: Training high: a clinical skills initiative for families and staff.
abstract: During the past 50 years the care of children and young people who are unwell in the UK has shifted out of the hospital environment and into the community and has become more complex, requiring the development among families and care staff of corresponding clinical skills. The ongoing initiative Training High aims to meet this need by offering appropriate training programmes to families and professional carers so they can safely undertake certain procedures. This article describes the success of one training project in England.
