How We Help

We help provide a safe transition to home as soon as possible

Some children who have had severe breathing problems and who have been in intensive care remain dependent on technology, such as a breathing machine, to keep them alive. However, medical advances mean that these children could get well enough to go home.

We know that being at home is better for a child’s development. It is the aim of the children’s long-term ventilation (LTV) service to coordinate a child’s discharge from hospital and to provide a safe transition to home as soon as possible.
