24 hour nursing
All young people living and learning at St Elizabeth's benefit from our
specialist on-site 24-hour nursing provision. As a result, education is not
disrupted - such services on site means young people can quickly return
to Sixth Form once they feel better.
Our team of dedicated nurses are on-site 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. The safety and
health of your child is paramount to us.
Specialist staff play a key part in the
multidisciplinary assessment of all referrals to
ensure we can meet the on-going needs of
each individual. We can support those with very
rare forms of epilepsy, other rare syndromes
and conditions, those with VNS devices and
those who require PEG feeding and dysphagia
support. We can also monitor and track seizure
activity, overseen by rigorous medication
administration protocols.
The on-site team work with external health
providers and can make referrals and host onsite clinics for specialists from Princess
Alexandra Hospital Trust and Great Ormond
Street.
Our on-site clinics reduce the need for young
people to receive treatment externally, reducing
the chance of any disruption to their routines.
