Paediatrics in Europe is characterised by the diversity, variety and heterogeneity of health care offered in the 53 European countries with more than 200 million children aged less than 18 years and with more than 200.000 paediatricians. There is currently no European wide “bank” of data to enable comparative studies of service outcomes to encourage health service research relating to infants, children and young people. The aim of our presentation is to improve international cooperation in child health care in all European countries in order to improve future services. Understanding how and why services work, relating structure and process to experience and outcomes is essential at a time of economic recession.
