This is a generic children’s nursing service for children age 0-18. We provide care for children with acute and long term health needs in their home. As named nurses and delivering community based care we aim to:
- Facilitate early discharge from hospital to continue care at home
- Prevent unnecessary hospital admissions
- Reduce out- patient visits
- Act as a link between the community and hospital and all other agencies involved with the family
- We recognise that each child, young person and family units are individuals and have individual needs. We assess the physical, emotional and social needs of the child and family
- Teach and support families with skills and knowledge to enable them to be cared for in the community
- Actively promote health education
