Community paediatricians (ICAN)

We are part of the integrated children additional needs service. We provide specialist medical care for children and young people. We work closely with families, schools, and other health and social care professionals to support each child. We are a team of community paediatricians, specialist nurses and dietitians.

What we offer

• Assessment, diagnosis and management of developmental needs of children and young people.
• Support for children with complex health needs.
• Advice on behavioural, social and emotional needs of children
• Health assessment for looked-after children and those in care
• Partnership working with education and therapy services.

Who it is for

The majority of the children that we see are young children although the service is available for children and young people up to the age of 19 who are registered with a Leeds GP.
