Cambridgeshire Community Paediatrics

We are a small specialist medical service led by community paediatricians. We see children with long-term complex physical health needs and children who need regular health monitoring for their underlying condition.

We provide medical care to children with medical needs in special education schools as well as children in care.

We also undertake short-term assessments and diagnoses of neurodevelopmental conditions in children up to 11 years old. Our team can provide assessments for:

• Social Communication
• Attention and Hyperactivity out of keeping with developmental level
• Medical assessment of a child who has a significant learning disability
• Mixed neurodevelopmental difficulties which are complex/overlapping and affecting a child's function in school

We often work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, caring for your child across multiple services and organisations which may include Team Around the Family (TAF) processes. Your identified paediatrician will decide on attendance at these meetings according to your child's needs and workload capacity. Community paediatricians cannot always attend TAF meetings or act as lead professionals but they will work to ensure all relevant and up to date information about your child is shared with the team.
