Paediatric Support
Specialist Homecare for Children with Complex Needs
When a child is living with complex health needs, the whole family feels the impact. At Complex Care Choices, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate paediatric support in the comfort and safety of your own home. Our expert team works in partnership with families, NHS professionals, and local services to deliver care that is not only clinically robust but also nurturing, empowering, and tailored to each child’s unique personality and needs.
What is Paediatric Support?
Paediatric support encompasses a wide range of services designed for children and young people with complex medical, physical, or developmental needs. This may include those with congenital or genetic conditions, acquired injuries, degenerative disorders, or requiring technology-dependent care (such as ventilation, tracheostomy, or PEG feeding).
Our service enables children to live as independently as possible, remain connected with family and friends, and take part in school, play, and community life.
Who We Support
We support children and young people across the UK who:
- Have complex medical conditions or physical disabilities
- Require interventions such as tracheostomy care, ventilator support, or enteral feeding
- Live with neurological or degenerative conditions (such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or epilepsy)
- Have acquired injuries (such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury)
- Need palliative or end-of-life care at home
- Require rehabilitation or transition support after hospital stays
Each child’s care plan is developed in close collaboration with parents, guardians, NHS clinicians, therapists, schools, and any other professionals involved.

- Reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections
- Promotes participation in school, hobbies, and community life
- Provides continuity, with familiar staff who build relationships over time

We also work to ensure families can access respite breaks and are signposted to additional sources of support and funding.
