6/ So what next?
Future approaches will benefit from integrating, leveraging, and growing existing services, although adoption of new models may be needed. Greater systematic coordination of care pathways is still required to optimise care delivery.

5/ What did we find?
Community-based primary care services, paediatric clinics, child development services, neonatal follow-up programmes, and allied health providers were commonly accessed pathway components.

4/ What did we find?
Neurodevelopmental follow-up care for children with CHD in Australia is delivered as pathways through existing services rather than the centre-based cardiac programmes common in North America. Our study describes alternate options and how these can adapted to local context.

2/ What did we do?
A qualitative study, using semi-structured virtual interviews with 52 healthcare professionals across Australia involved in neurodevelopmental care of children with CHD. Rapid qualitative analysis to identify, categorise, and understand care pathways and services.
