Children's community nursing service

The Children’s Community Nursing Service (CCNS) is made up of different teams of specialist nurses who support babies, children and young people across Leeds. Our teams help children stay where they feel most comfortable, reduce the need for hospital visits, and make sure families feel confident and supported.

Many of the children we work with are supported by more than one of our teams, and we work closely together to provide joined up care that meets each child’s individual needs.

About the children's community nursing service

The children’s community nursing service supports babies, children and young people across Leeds who need nursing care at home or in the community.

We work closely with parents, schools, hospitals, GPs and other professionals to provide the right care, in the right place and at the right time. This includes;

  • support after illness or surgery,
  • meeting the health needs of children with complex or long‑term conditions,
  • providing specialist palliative care,
  • enabling children to safely attend school,
  • delivering continuing care and health short breaks for children who need additional support either at home or at Hannah House our purpose-built health short break facility.

Across all our services, we focus on getting to know each child and family, building trust, and providing safe, consistent care that helps children live well and take part in everyday life.

Our support services

The children's nursing service includes the Hannah House, the Continuing Care team, Health Short Breaks team and the Inclusion Nursing team.
