Children's Complex and Continuing Care Team

The Children’s Complex and Continuing Care team delivers specialised homecare packages for children and young people with complex health needs that are dependent on technology to live. This includes long-term ventilation, tracheostomy care, Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and renal dialysis. We coordinate a safe discharge from hospital to home for the child/young person and provide a package of health care support in the community.

We look after children from 0 – 18 who have a life limiting or life threatening condition and who have a nursing need.

We assess each child individually and identify health needs and outcomes. The length of time the service supports a child will depend on the findings of the initial assessment.

The service provides care for children and young people from 0-18 years who are resident in the Islington and Camden.
