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
The service operates Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and provide care to four specific groups:
- Complex health needs
- Long-term conditions
- Palliative care
- Short term and acute care
