What health services are available in Royal Greenwich?
Some children will need to see one health professional only such as a speech and language therapist, occupational therapist or physiotherapist through hospitals, children's centres and schools. Our health professionals work closely together with you to ensure that joint assessments are carried out when your child needs to see more than one health professional.
We have a number of specialist services that support children’s centres, nurseries and schools to meet the health needs of children with special educational needs and disability:
Community nutrition and dietetics service - helps children who have problems with food.
Community Paediatricians – specialist children’s doctors
Health visiting - universal services that support all children under school age
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) – helps newborn babies with disabilities
Speech and language therapy service – helps children learn to speak and understand
