## Description

The purpose of CHARS is:<br/><br/>• To provide data for public health surveillance of HIV infections among children living with HIV <br/>• To monitor the quality of care of children living with HIV until transition to adult services, including producing quality of care indicators <br/>• To support NHS commissioning services CHARS launched in 2022 and continues paediatric surveillance carried out by the Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS) based at UCL Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit which ran from 2000- 2020, significantly improving the surveillance service in multiple ways.
