SURGERY / FINAL FOUNDATION / ORIGINAL PRACTICE
You find a source that describes an adult pathway. What must you establish before using it to revise a child-focused topic?
Its population, developmental relevance, intended setting and whether it actually addresses paediatric care.
What two contextual layers should accompany a guideline before it becomes a revision anchor?
The mechanism or clinical context it covers, and the resource or specialist setting it assumes.
Why is a general framework insufficient on its own for a real local pathway?
Because referral arrangements, available expertise and local protocols vary; the framework must be scoped and locally verified.
Return to the weakest map, verify one source, then add scope and uncertainty to your own note.
