What are Specialist Community Paediatric (SCP) Teams?

Specialist Community Paediatric (SCP) Teams are made up of different health professionals including Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Paediatricians, Physiotherapists, and Speech and Language Therapists. There are 6 teams based in Children's Centres across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC). The professionals who make up these teams work together or separately to support children and young people to reach their potential.

 

What do SCP Teams do?

SCP Teams work with babies, children and young people with a variety of disabilities and genetic conditions and those who are developing differently to what would be expected. They work in the community to support those who have ongoing needs but don't need to be in hospital. They work to identify, assess, diagnosis, treat, support and monitor babies, children and young people.

Children and young people might be seen by one or more of these professionals together or separately depending on what they need. The SCP Teams work with the baby/child/young person, their family and the team around them (such as Education, Social Work, Third Sector professionals). How they work will change over time depending on what the baby, child or young person needs.
