Children's Community Nursing Team

We are here for children and young people who have disabilities and complex health needs to provide expert nursing care, support and advice.

We provide our service at venues that are appropriate for you and your child eg home, school or wherever best meets your needs.

We also work with healthcare professionals, education staff, the children with disabilities team and private or voluntary agencies to ensure the needs of young people are met.

The service is accessed through direct referral from consultants, GPs, the hospital or from education colleagues.

When a referral is made, we will come and introduce ourselves to you and discuss your needs and our role.

Written information is provided and we will make sure you have our contact details and work with you and others involved in your child's care to provide for your needs in the community and in school if appropriate.
