About our department
This community based service is part of the Paediatric Department. It provides specialist medical input into the management of children with specific vulnerabilities or needs such as children with disabilities, children with special educational needs and looked after children. The Audiology service and the medical responsibility for adoption and fostering are also provided by this service.
We provide school and clinic based services and we liaise closely with colleagues in education and social care. We have strong links with the multi agency multi disciplinary integrated service for children with additional needs, based at Rowan House.
Our team is made up of doctors and specialist nurses supported by a dedicated administrative team.
