Community Children's Nursing
This page is for all care professionals who need the service referral information or other relevant documentation.
How do Care Professionals refer into this service?
Health Professionals who need to refer a patient in to the service, should contact the service directly, using the contact details on this page in the first instance. A referral form would then need to be completed for the CCNT to review before we are able to accept the referral.
Types of patients regularly seen
The Children's Community Nursing service provides nursing care to children aged 0 to 18 years who have an identified nursing need. We offer community visits to children, young people and their families across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
The service co-ordinates and manages packages of care for children and young people with complex health/nursing needs to maximise their opportunities and reach their full potential by providing:
- Direct nursing care and treatment
- Monitoring and review of care and treatment plans
- Symptom management for life-limiting/life threatening conditions through to end-of-life care and support
- Training, advice and support to the family and/or carers to enable them to continue providing on-going care
- A resource for other professionals working with your child for information and advice on specialist/complex nursing care
