About the continuing care nursing and health short breaks

Our team is made up of nurses and carers trained to provide nursing care for children and young people with complex healthcare needs.

We offer nursing and respite care (temporary, short-term breaks and support) to enable families to look after their child or young person at home.

We aim to:

  • work together to care for and support each child, young person and family
  • offer continuity of care by clearly communicating with all those involved in the child’s or young persons care
  • offer a professional relationship based on mutual respect, trust and confidentiality
  • ensure the whole family feels supported

Who’s it for?

If your child or young person meets the continuing care or health short breaks criteria and is eligible for respite care, we will offer your family a number of hours of care per week in the home or community setting.

We review the care we offer to each family regularly with both professionals and carers. This is so we can provide services tailored to the needs of each child, young person and each family.
