Whittington Health (WH) Community Children's Nurses (CCN) are registered children's nurses who provide clinical nursing children at home or in school, assisting parents to provide treatment and monitor the child's progress.
CCNs are a source of support, information and advice for families. They may act as a lead professional for children with long-term conditions and/or complex needs, requesting and coordinating care from local paediatricians or GPs, the multidisciplinary team and, at times, directly from the tertiary specialists.
Eczema, asthma, viral induced wheeze and constipation nurse-led clinics are run as part of this service in the community.
There are also neonatal nurses working in conjunction with University College London Hospitals and Whittington Hospital within the team. They provide clinical nursing and advice and support for babies and their parents/carers within the borough of Islington.
