Children’s Community Nursing Teams
Our teams provide support for children, young people, and their families with both acute and chronic medical and surgical conditions and complex health needs. We undertake a wide variety of nursing procedures and direct nursing care within the community setting.
We will act as the child's and family's advocate and can attend meetings with the family to offer support and liaise with other service providers.
