The team of specialist nurses is here to help you and your family medically, practially and emotionally, and all nurses are trained in their specialist area of care.

All nurses can; give written information to back up the information you are hearing, discuss what this means for your child and family, help you plan how to manage at home, talk with health professionals and put you in touch with other organisations which might help you and talk with your child's school if you wish, to help them give the right care for your child if needed .

 

If you want to contact a specialist nurse, please select one from the list. IF YOU ARE AT ALL WORRIED ABOUT YOUR CHILD, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR GP OR CALL 999 IN AN EMERGENCY.
