Who we are
The Community Children's Nursing Service (CCNS) provides a range of services to support children who reside within the London Borough of Newham and who require nursing care, palliative care, technical support nursing or dietetic nutritional support within their home or other community setting.

Who do we see?
The service provides specialist paediatric care to children and young people from birth to 16-18 years depending on the service (19yrs for young people with a palliative care diagnosis in coordination with the Diana team).
