NHS Funding for Children and Young People with Complex Health Care Needs \u2013 Guidance<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of children and young people across Falkirk have been identified as having complex health needs. Support staff are often required to monitor or carry out medical interventions in school, procedures that would be carried out in the home or community by parents\/carers, health visitors or a registered nurse.<\/p>\n

NHS Forth Valley can provide financial support (in the form of SFLA funded hours) to address the additional time required in delivering complex healthcare tasks by support staff.\u00a0 They can also provide training, supervision and monitoring in relation to such tasks.\u00a0 Requests for training<\/strong>, supervision<\/strong> and monitoring<\/strong> should be made to the ASN Service by the Headteacher or Head of Centre.<\/p>\n

The ASN Service collates such requests from Falkirk establishments and presents these to the NHS Forth Valley Complex Care Service where arrangements will be made for a joint assessment.<\/p>\n
