The Community Paediatric Service is based at St Michael's Hospital in Enfield where the majority of clinics will take place, supported by an administration team on the same site.

Referrals can be made to the Child Development Team (CDT) for developmental concerns, this is a consultant-led service, supported by CDT-psychologists, or directly to other child health services, such as Speech and Language (Early Years), physiotherapy or occupational therapy and dietetics. The continuing care nurses and Play and Bereavement Team are also located at St Michaels.

In addition, Special School Nursing, School Aged Immunisation Team, Youth Justice, LAC and Safeguarding Team are also part of the establishment, as well as collaborative working with the Local Authority (Social Care and Education). There is close alignment with Universal Health Services, such as Health Visiting, School Nursing and CAHMS.

The location of the various disciplinary teams in one setting supports multi-disciplinary working.
