Paediatric Program
Health care for the unique needs of children, youth and their families
Bayshore offers a range of paediatric health care services across Canada for children and youth in their homes, at school or daycare, and where appropriate, on community outings. With over 350 paediatric nurses, our program serves provincial health and regional health authorities.
When caring for children and youth, we work together with our young clients and their families, healthcare professionals, community partners and our internal team to develop an approach that is:
- Individualized
- Responsive
- Respectful
- High-quality and safe
- Child, youth and family centred
- Culturally appropriate
- Integrated and collaborative
- Reflective of evidence-based practice
- Equitable
- Accountable
- Trusting and nurturing
We believe the quality of services is achieved through holistic partnerships and teamwork. Using feedback from clients, families and care staff, our approach to service delivery is compassionate, empathetic, respectful and reflective of care practices that are aligned to standards of safety, quality and effectiveness.
Our Family Advisory Network (in BC) was established to ensure we are improving the client and family experience. In 2017, Accreditation Canada awarded our Bayshore Paediatric Specialty Care Program (BC) with its highest level of achievement, the Exemplary Award. This award is a reflection of the dedicated and expert work performed by our paediatric team, focused on quality, managing risk in a community setting, supporting families to be families, and successful client outcomes.
