We help babies and children 0-19 with complex special needs and those with a life-limiting illness who:
- Require enteral feeding.
- Have faltering growth (weight for age falling through two standard percentiles).
- Have a diagnosis of syndrome/neurodevelopmental disorder or life-limiting illness, including dysphagia complications, which require oral nutrition support.
- Have restrictive diets. Children with autism who are referred with very restricted diets will be given an initial assessment and, if nutritional supplementation is not initiated, they will be discharged.
We have close links with the community paediatric dietitians in Islington and Camden and with those at Whittington Hospital and at other local hospitals. We do not have a general dietitian for children without complex needs and cannot accept referrals for weight loss management.
Referrals from GPs and any healthcare professional can be accepted for infants and children up to 19 years. We do not accept referrals for weight loss management or allergies. Please email whh-tr.CDCReferrals@nhs.net
