Bromley have two Home Care Teams supporting babies in their home environment. The hospital based team is an acute team looking after the short-term needs of babies after discharge from hospital. The cares for babies with chronic conditions who need long-term or life-long clinical care. They support babies discharged from our own unit and babies from other hospital units within London who live in Bromley. Community Home Care Team.

This year we were pleased to support the Community Team by purchasing two specialised Apnoea monitors that will alert and record if the baby is experiencing breathing difficulties.

Supporting both of these teams means that we are helping to discharge babies home so they can be with their parents and siblings.

This allows parents to provide the love and special care their babies need in their own home but with the support of our home care nurses.
