Children's Continuing Care is an NHS-run service that provides a tailored support package for children and young people aged 0-17 (until their 18th birthday) with complex health needs due to disabilities, accidents, or illnesses that existing services cannot meet alone.
This service provides a support package for needs resulting from conditions such as:
- Disabilities
- Complex congenital conditions
- Long-term, life-limiting, or life-threatening conditions
- Aftereffects of serious illnesses or injuries
How to get support if you're a parent or carer:
If you think your child should be assessed for NHS Children’s Continuing Care, talk to a health or social care professional who works with them. They will make a referral to the local Children’s Continuing Care Team, at Whittington Health.
