Children's Community Nursing

• complex wounds
• continence
• long term conditions like cancer
• oxygen dependent infants and children
• technology dependency
• tracheostomy

We can also help with:

• antibiotic injections
• antibiotics that need to be given through a drip
• care after surgery
• end of life (palliative) care
• feeding tubes and devices

Our first appointment will be about assessing your child’s needs. Together we’ll create a care plan that will meet their needs and adjust it as their needs change. We might work with them for a few days, several months or until they reach adulthood.

Our aim is to keep children out of hospital as much as possible by giving care closer to home.
