This text is a comprehensive and inter-professional guide aimed at all healthcare professionals working with children and young people with Congenital Heart Disease.Structured around the timeline of the patient's healthcare journey, this book considers all aspects of care of the patient from the point of presentation and diagnosis (antenatally, in the neonatal period or later) to the patient's transition either onto adult services, or in some cases, end of life. It is supported in an evidence based manner, with chapters written by experts from a variety of professional groups.
