The Children’s Home Acute Team (CHAT) is a team of experienced paediatric nurses who provide assessment and support to children at home, to enable them to be cared for whilst they are unwell.
Our aim is to reduce unnecessary visits and/or admission to hospital for the child. We do this by offering telephone support and home visits. If further medical support is needed, this is discussed with the paediatric doctors. Support is provided for the child and their family until they are recovered from their illness.
