If your child has been invited for a face-to-face appointment or procedure, it’s important you still come (even if local COVID-19 restrictions have changed).
To help keep everyone safe, only one parent or carer can attend. No other family or friends can visit.

Community nursing service

At home service, hospital at home,

Our community nursing team are experienced children’s nurses who provide the expertise of hospital care in the comfort and safety of your home.

Being cared for by the team will mean that children are able to go home from hospital earlier and in some cases avoid coming in to hospital. Children will be in a virtual ward under the care of a hospital doctor until they are well enough to be discharged.

We want to help parents become more confident in looking after their children when they are sick.

The team are available for all children living and registered with a GP in Lambeth and Southwark.

Referrals

The team caring for your child in hospital will let you know if it's possible for them to be looked after by the community nursing team.
