The NRH Paediatric Family-Centred Programme
The Paediatric Family-Centred Programme is the national medical rehabilitation service for children and adolescents up to 18 years requiring a complex specialist rehabilitation service.
Referrals for the service are received from across the Republic of Ireland. The rehabilitation needs of each person referred can be assessed on an inpatient, day patient or outpatient basis.
Therapeutic interventions can be offered on an inpatient or day-patient or on a limited outpatient and outreach basis.
In effect the Paediatric Programme is a microcosm of the three adult Programmes at the NRH, providing rehabilitation services to children and adolescents who require medical rehabilitation as a result of conditions such as a brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, neurological disorders or limb absence.
The Objectives of the Paediatric Programme Are:
· To achieve the maximum rehabilitation potential of each child – physically, emotionally and cognitively.
· To involve the children and young people and their families or carers in the rehabilitation process.
· To support the reintegration of the child or young person into his or her home, school and the wider community.
· To help and support the child or young person and his or her family to adjust to loss, changed self image and abilities.
· To liaise and advocate with Health, Therapeutic and Education Authorities in the young person’s local communities regarding their ongoing rehabilitation needs.
· To offer rehabilitation training and education to family, carers, teachers, special needs assistants (SNAs), personal assistants (PAs) and other service providers.
