Children’s Complex Health Team
The Children’s Complex Health Team support children and young people with complex health needs; their families and professionals working with them.
We are a team of highly skilled practitioners with a range of experience in children’s nursing, health visiting, palliative and end of life care, learning and physical disabilities, and mental health.
We believe that all children and young people have unique strengths and needs, which require an individualised approach to the planning and delivery of their care. We ensure that children and young people are at the heart of all our work; focusing on outcomes that make a difference to them and their families.
We work closely with a range of professionals across education, health, and social care services to ensure that children and young people have access to a range of opportunities and are cared for effectively at home and their local community. This may include health support through NHS Continuing Care and/or Education, Health and Care plans, as well as providing advice and training.

Personal Health Budgets
A personal health budget is an amount of money to support a child or young person’s individual health needs which is planned and agreed between the child/family and the local NHS team.
Personal health budgets can improve children and young people’s quality of life and their experience of care by helping them, with the support of their family, to have more choice about how their healthcare needs are met.
A personal health budget can be spent on services to help the child or young person to meet their health and wellbeing goals set out in their care and support plan. Examples include employing a personal assistant, specialist equipment, or leisure/social activities to improve wellbeing. In North East Lincolnshire we offer all children and young people who meet the eligibility criteria for children’s continuing care a personal health budget and offer help and support with this.
