Community Children's Team - Bassetlaw
The Community Children’s Nursing Team are a team of specialist children’s nurses and trained healthcare support workers who visit children at home, who have nursing care needs. Services are provided for children registered with a Bassetlaw GP, aged 0 – 19 years, who meet the criteria for acceptance.
The Children’s Community Nursing Team accept referrals from parents, school nurses, health visitors, GPs, social services, education, hospital and community services.
We provide care at home for children with any of the below:
life limiting/threatening disease/disability who can be safely cared for at home
a severe medical condition
a progressive condition resulting in significant health needs and a specialist nursing need.
The nursing team provide equipment and training to ensure children with significant health needs can access educational and community settings to achieve their full potential.
The Children’s Learning Disability Team accepts referrals from any source and provides specialist advice and strategies that can be implemented by carers at home, school and other community settings for children with moderate to severe learning disabilities. Their expertise supports the child, their families, carers and schools in areas such as sleep, continence and behaviour management, in order to create the appropriate resources and environment for the child to achieve their best potential.
The Paediatric Occupational Therapy Team accepts referrals from health professionals and provides assessment support advice, therapy training and equipment for children with with long or short term physical disabilities. Children whose poor motor coordination skills are affecting their ability to function in everyday tasks are also seen. Visits are made to the home, school and other community settings. The primary aim is to promote independence and skills for daily living, using a range of approaches, so that they are able to participate to their full potential and overcome discrepancies between performance skills and ability.
