Community paediatricians are specialist doctors who provide out of hospital care for children and young people with long term disabilities with a focus on their participation and quality of life.
The role of the community paediatrician involves identification, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and support of children and young people with long term neuro-disability (such as Cerebral Palsy), genetic conditions (such as Downs Syndrome) and those with specific neuro-developmental conditions. Community paediatricians have a key role in co-ordinating the team around child and young person by working closely with multiple agencies including Health (hospital clinicians and allied health professionals), Education and Social Care.
Community Paediatricians work in the Specialist Community Paediatric Teams and work across NHSGGC. They deliver/conduct outpatient clinics at health centres/child development centres and in Additional Support Need schools.
