How to get involved

If you’re interested in joining the forum or want to know more about supporting us as one of our Specialist Interest Link Roles then please contact us at cypadmin@rcn.org.uk.

The forum focuses on all areas where Community Children’s Nurses support children, young people (CYP) with short and long-term and complex needs to thrive at home and help them navigate multiple services. This includes children on a palliative pathway, including caring for them at end of life. The forum also includes public health nurses working with children at home and school through health visiting and school nursing. We inform work that goes across the three CYP Forums in a collaborative way. This includes professional issues such as workforce, education and the wellbeing of all nursing roles that support children and young people.

The forum is linked to the following communities

• Disabled Children and Young People
• Community Children's Nurses
• CYP Palliative Care
