Children with Cerebral Palsy and similar conditions require multiple professional appointments in hospital and in community throughout their childhood. NHS Grampian staff look after these children across the NE of Scotland including Orkney and Shetland Islands spread over approximately 11,000 sq. miles. It is a challenge to offer accessible healthcare to this vulnerable patient group. In offering a community based multispecialty clinic closer to home we aim to improve patient care and family experience for those with complex healthcare needs whilst also reducing healthcare inequalities due to socioeconomic and geographic factors.
A multidisciplinary team at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital (RACH) have recently developed a Habilitation Integrated Community Clinic (HICC) for children with Cerebral Palsy. To read more about their project download this document.
