This online course is presented by:
In 2013, Madeleine started a degree in children's nursing at Kings College London. To support herself during this time, she got a job as a healthcare assistant in a private care package supporting a child with an acquired brain injury which left him with a tracheostomy, ventilation, the need for intermittent catheterisation, and routine intravenous infusions via a fistula. What began as a part time job soon taught her much of what she knows today about children and young people with complex needs. She continued to work with this young person for the next 10 years alongside her NHS roles. After she had completed a degree in children's nursing, she knew she wasn't going to be a ward nurse and secured a role within the children's continuing care team at Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Here, Madeleine delivered respite care to various children and young people with complex needs across two boroughs. Since then, she has worked in every role within the children's continuing care team, special schools nursing team and paediatric continence team developing knowledge and skills in complex needs. She has always supported the continuing care nurses before her to assess the children and young people under the framework (2016) so when the role as lead continuing care nurse became available, she was excited to apply. Madeleine has been working as the lead continuing care nurse since 2021 and is the only assessor in the team covering two boroughs. The referrals are rising each month, and the complexities of the children and young people continue to increase. She has worked hard to ensure the assessments are robust, evidence based and equitable across two boroughs with very different agreements in place from two integrated care boards.
I qualified in 2001, worked in hospital initially then moved to community a few years later. I have worked in CYPCC since leaving the hospital, this has included providing hands on (respite) care and different roles gaining experience and now working within the ICB (3 years) as Nurse Assessor.
I love my job and the support we are able to provide to families who meet the CYPCC criteria.
Hannah Ellis is the Transition lead nurse for the Children’s Continuing care team within Birmingham and Solihull ICB. She holds a caseload of young people aged 14-18 who are in receipt of Continuing Care and who may be transitioning to adult CHC and works alongside the adult CHC Transition lead nurse.
After qualifying as a children’s nurse in 2008 with BCS from Kings college London she worked in various specialities before completing a masters in Childrens nursing and working as an oncology CNS. Following this she moved to a community children’s nursing role in Coventry and as part of this job worked with young people in receipt of continuing care. In 2023 she moved to the Transition lead role within the CYP CC team at BSOL ICB.
