24 hour nursing
All young people living and learning at St Elizabeth's School and Children's
Home benefit from our specialist on-site 24-hour nursing provision. As a result,
education is not disrupted - such services on site means children can quickly
return to school once they feel better.
Our team of dedicated nurses are on-site 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. The safety and health of your child
is paramount to us.
Specialist staff play a key part in the multidisciplinary
assessment of all referrals to ensure we can meet the
on-going needs of each individual. We can support those
with very rare forms of epilepsy, other rare syndromes
and conditions, those with VNS devices and those who
require PEG feeding and dysphagia support. We can
also monitor and tract seizure activity and changes in
behaviour, overseen by rigorous medication
administration protocols.
The on-site team work with external health providers and
can make referrals and host on-site clinics for specialists
from Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust and Great
Ormond Street.
Our on-site clinics reduce the need for children to
receive treatment externally, reducing the chance of any
disruption to their routines.
