Community Child Health Services are defined by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health as ‘the care of children outside of hospital by community paediatricians. They will see children for a variety of reasons and can include children with long-term disability (e.g. cerebral palsy, learning disability), children with mental health issues (e.g. autism and ADHD), children who it is feared are being abused, or children who are being fostered and adopted. They also take responsibility for providing strategic leadership and advising on the health of communities’.
