Children with Down's syndrome are mainly well, with their main needs being educational and social, but they are at risk of certain conditions and do warrant regular medical review. In light of recommendations from the Down's syndrome Medical Interest Group on medical follow-up of children with Down's syndrome, a form was designed for use in community clinics to act as an aide memoire (see appendix). Versions of this form are now being used in Lancaster, Kendal and South Lakes. To aid audit, it is updated at the annual clinic visit and is photocopied to the office at Langlands, where the data are entered onto a spreadsheet database in Excel.
